If it's brand-new, have you ever installed Linux on this particular |
| 2 |
processor/motherboard combination? I had a problem with freezeups |
| 3 |
with my TurionX2 laptop until I used -noapic on the kernel line. |

Nothing much to do with load, except that more work = more chance of |
| 5 |
encountering the problem. |

I also had heat-related issues until I got the thermal sensors coupled |
| 8 |
with the speed governor. But then the machine would just turn off |
| 9 |
abruptly. I was able to get it to run long enough to recompile by |
| 10 |
putting a pencil up under the corner where the vents are, for more |
| 11 |
clearance and airflow. |

More details about the system might help you get better answers. |
