May be off topic. I've been experiencing approximately monthly hard |
2 |
lockups on my machine. Dell Inspiron 3252 Shipped Feb 19th, 2016. Atom |
3 |
based machine with 8 gigs of ram. |

...tells me it's a "silvermont". I'm running bog standard 64-bit |

no-multilib Gentoo, a bit on the lean side. By "hard lockup" I mean... |

* {CTRL}{ALT}{DEL} won't reboot |
11 |
* Magic SysRq won't reboot |
12 |
* The Power button powers down, but is unable to reboot (there's a light |
13 |
inside the case that stays on) |
14 |
* I have to flip off the power bar, wait, flip power bar back on, and |
15 |
press the power button |

Are there any utilities I can use to possibly diagnose the problem? |

Let's just say, I'm now somewhat fanatical about backups every couple of |

days. |
