Anton, My is not from heat as I have had it running for 5 mins doing nothing and it has just frozen. I have also run it hard for several hours at 100% and it was fine. None of the logs say anything it is just a complete system freeze which is why I think it is not Linux but hardware, I have had one or two problems in Windows but those have gone away after the 4th reinstall.

Is linux really stable ?? guys, I have a similar problem and it is VERY annoying. I have a suspicion it has something to do with the temperature of the cpu - at least in my case. A friend put the thermo tape on and heatsink - he's a careless bastard. The problem seems to happen every time when encoding video - something that really needs cpu grunt. Try transcoding in either windoze or linux and if you have a similar problem then it will surface. The thing is not that linux is less stable, rather that it gets better usage out of the cpu and works it harder. I would be interested to know as now even with the fan on full-bore it happens for me! Bloody annoying! Cheers Anton ps I was told the cure was new thermo tape - haven't had the time to change it but will try in the next couple of weeks... Tony S.
