If it's brand-new, have you ever installed Linux on this particular
processor/motherboard combination? I had a problem with freezeups
with my TurionX2 laptop until I used -noapic on the kernel line.
Nothing much to do with load, except that more work = more chance of
encountering the problem.

Yes, I've done some reading and indeed it probably is overheating.
I'll probably prop it up on some jewel cases and blow a fan at it
until I can get a working system. Then I'll investigate cpu frequency
scaling.
Thanks for your advice.

Yes, it's a new Acer, with a Amd64 Turion mobile mk-38. I had thought
initially that the cpu was to blame for the freezups as indeed I have
never installed on this particular processor.
So far, so good with the freezing, though. I propped the machine up,
and all seems to be going smoothly...
It appears there are still apic issues under x86_64 SMP, so look at
noapic if you continue to have hangups (you may have this AND heat
problems).
Also look at the AMD_64 architecture forums at gentoo.org. I'm not
familiar with the Acer peripherals but that forum helped me with my
HP9000z.
