I have this same problem. My fan went out on my northbridge a while back when I had windows on the machine, but windows never locked up. I formatted and tried to install gentoo from stage 1. It would start compiling and freeze soon after. When I underclocked, everything ran fine. Since then I have bought a better hsf for my processor and better cooling for my northbridge. The problem still exists. My next guess is to try some better memory which I now have, I just need to install it. The optimal fsb of my system is 333mhz and currently I have DDR266 PC2100 in there. When I underclock, I set my fsb to 266mhz. So I am now thinking that the memory is a problem. I have been running it at a higher clock than rated when I was running windows and it didn't mind but gentoo does. I'll get this memory installed in the next couple of days and let you know if it helped. Good luck. Robert F Donnelly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
