May be off topic. I've been experiencing approximately monthly hard
lockups on my machine. Dell Inspiron 3252 Shipped Feb 19th, 2016. Atom
based machine with 8 gigs of ram.
gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march=
...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
* Magic SysRq won't reboot
* The Power button powers down, but is unable to reboot (there's a light
inside the case that stays on)
* I have to flip off the power bar, wait, flip power bar back on, and
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.
