Is the machine by any chance an Abit BP6 with dual Celeron's?
I recently solved my lockups (check the archives, also in the -smp
list, for details) by slightly increasing the processor voltage. The
machine was not overclocked, but it would crash at irregular intervals,
with an average uptime of about 1 week. The lockups I got sound exactly the
same as the ones you describe: not even Ctrl-Alt-Esc works.
I increased the processor voltage from 2.00 to 2.05 volts in the bios and
the problem has gone away. The Abit BP6 mainboards have a history of power
stabilization problems.
Hope this helps,
Dave Boers.
