I recently upgraded to an Athlon XP 1800+, and since then have been having my computer just lock up from time to time. I know there is the "bug" (or whatever its being called) that requires the mem=nopentium option on boot, and I have done that. I have yet to figure out what triggers the lock up, other than I am always in X (but then, I am ALWAYS in X). There is nothing in any log files I can find- it is almost as if the computer were unplugged. Anyone have any hints on this?
