The CPU is Celeron 433 mhz. Latest message was: Jun 15 08:35:41 fede kernel: [drm] mach64_ring_idle failed! After starting R. to Wolf. it just froze. Syslog "tried" to write something (but couldn't).

At work we have 2 more laptops like this and the all have the same problem (though they can last more time befor hanging). They freeze with 3D after a while. Underclocking the rage a bit allowed me to play a 3D game/demo for days without a problem. These are IMB Thinkpad iSeries 1460 if anyone is curious. >mmm.. not that I know of.

I could try and find more info or try to contact the good old rage overclocker programer (it's a 1999 util). Maybe the chip can be slowed down some other way. glxgears never crashes the system. Complex games do.
