[ale] system freezes

[Benjie]

I would assume that running memtest would induce the same lockup.  In
all my years of servicing x86 hardware, system freezes have always
been caused by problems with cpu temperature, power fluctuations, or
bad hardware drivers.  Take your pick.  Memtest will definitely
indicate if there is a minor problem with a memory module, or in some
cases cache, but I am betting that running it will cause the same
problem.

"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are
far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking
in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and
ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never
explore the insides of their head like a drunk does."  -- Shane
