Bug Description
I've been experiencing computer lock ups at least once a day. I have had trouble finding anything in my logs at there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. However, I think I may have finally found something. It looks like it may have something to do with Firefox, although I try to close it everytime I leave my computer. It seems to happen when I'm away and never when I'm actually using the computer. Also, I've noticed that after I press the reset button, it then won't restart properly. I either get a lock-up on the splash screen or I see a bunch of commands that involve a call trace and eventually kernal panic, in which the boot locks. I have noticed, that if I leave the computer off for a few minutes, instead of immediatly restarting after the error, it will boot. I have attached the part of the log where the lock-up might have taken place.
I'm using the latest updated version of Hardy.
