Ian,
A suggestion: Check your "system" temperature. Are you running a
BP-6 motherboard? Many motherboards with a BX chipset run the board
controller too hot. On the BP-6 the green heatsink (board controller
heatsink) is put on withouth any thermal paste, tape, or thermal glue. This
makes the board controller overheat and lock up while your CPU chips are
running fine. To remedy it, pinch in the expanding rivets that hold on the
heatsink and remove the sink, grease it with heatsink grease ($1.99 at radio
shack) and replace the heatsink. This may solve your problem without the
lmsensors (I've had several issues with lmsensors).

Subject: lm-sensors
Could someone help me with the setup of lm-sensors? I think heat is
causing my system to lock occasionally. When I go into the BIOS I see
that CPU0 is about 95F and CPU1 is hovering at about 104F. I'd like to be
able to see this from Linux using lmsensors. I tried compiling it myself
and installing it according to instructions but I can never get a
/proc/sensors. It finds the SMBus and all that stuff OK and I get a
/proc/sys/dev/i2c. Anyone care to help?
