Reasonably recently I upgraded my hardware to the following:
Soltek SL-NV400-64 "Purple Ray" (Socket A) Motherboard
AMD Athlon "Barton" XP3200+ 400FSB (Socket A) CPU - OEM
Asus DRW-0402P DVD-R/RW - Retail
Adata 512MB DDR PC3200 CAS 2.5 Adata 512MB DDR PC3200 CAS 2.5
Zalman Flower CNPS6000-Cu Silent Socket A CPU Cooler -
Antec Sonata Piano Black Quiet Case - 380W TruePower Silent PSU
Hyundai ImageQuest Q995 19'' Perfectly Flat CRT Monitor - Black/Silver
Geforce FX 5200 graphics card
IBM 60GB HD
Western Digital 160GB HD
Sometimes when I run CPU intensive applications the system will
crash at seemingly unpredictable times, I have to hard reset the machine as it
is completely unresponsive, I was running an experiment in console mode and it showed me the kernel panic:
With those uptimes I would say your heat sink and fan(hsf) is to blame. The old idea about amds running hot is kind of crap, any cpu will run hot if not installed correctly or overclocked. You got that white stuff between the cpu and hsf?
I disagree (as an owner of one Athlon) The CPU came with it's own fan etc. Bios settings (voltage etc) where they should be - but still runs hot. In fact so much so that when compiling or make world, freeze happens. It's just a known fact that AMD's runs hot. I don't know if that's by design or not - nonetheless, I love mine (big old box fan and all).
