I�m expperiencing similar problems with my Gigabyte Mobo (GA-586DX with two
P233MMX, two 32MB PS2 SIMMS, aso...). Through I don�t have a second machine to
monitor resp, check what is the real status of the frozen one, I can�t say
much.
I fisrt thought the cause was the X windows system but several upgrades dind�t
help.
Then today I replaced my two P233MMX CPUs with my old two P133 that I begann
SMP�ing with and since then I don�t have this problems any more. I even managed
to install a new StarOffice (with the other CPUs the machine froze three times
while installing StarOffice-5.1).
Could it be that the problems we are facing have something to od with the MMX
support? AFAIK PII CPUs have built-in MMX-support by default.
