[lug] Lock up?

[Chip Atkinson]

You might also wish to check the memory or cache.  I recently had a
machine lock up regularly, but I believe it to have been bad memory, since
I changed everything including the case, and the one consistent thing was
the memory since that was the only thing that I used for every setup.
