Yeah well that's a little different. My machine never used to lock up, in fact
I'll usually leave it running months at a time without problem. It has only
been in the last week and a half I have been experiencing this problem.

The only other problem, that I brought up a while back, is that looking at
Star Office 5.2 presentations will cause my computer to spontaneously reboot
(no lockup, reboot). Don't know why, and Star Office word processing
documents are fine.
