is this a new machine? or is it older and this problem just started?
either way it may be a good idea to stress test it you can at least

theres a nifty program on freshmeat.net(may be packaged too) called
'cpuburn'
I use Mozilla M17 without any problems.

I'm afraid I don't really know how to help, but this sounds very
strange to me. I think that the problem must be specific to this

Debian), the only program that has ever brought down the whole system
