One of the things someone mentioned was to test the power supply. Recently, I had a few hard lockups and a couple of spontaneous reboots. So, how do I test my power supply, other than replacing it and seeing if the problem goes away? Or is that evidence enough to change it ASAP? According to lm-sensors, voltages are fine, and I've even sat and watched gkrellm for long periods of time - they look stable.
You can get a handheld tester (I have one at home, I can bring it to the next meeting). Basically if the light goes green it's good. Also, it has spots to check voltages of your power supply. Eric
