Well, I flashed the BIOS. So now it's just sit tight, and hope. ;) I think I have to update lm_sensors now, though. It's reading temps of 30C for everything! I knew it was cold in here, but wow! Oh, wait. RC5 hadn't been on for a bit. [sitting. staring.] The system was slacking. There they go...

Is there a Debian package that displays the temp? Maybe I should keep my eye on that too. I thought I had heard of the Netscape/Java freeze problem before. Any ideas on fix and/or where the problem is coming from? I think I'm now having the same problem while running Star Office too. Cheers,

I have also had lock-ups from time to time. The non-hard lock-up I get is with Netscape...sometimes it runs out of control and hogs CPU and freezes up. I can kill it, so not too big a deal. At times I'll get a hard lock-up and forced re-boot. I think these events may be related (ie. I'm having t
