Comment 34 for bug 352373

Ok, I had two more freezes today - so far...Last night (early this AM) I managed to go a few hours without a crash: used Firefox and watched a couple of videos - including the dvd I was watching when it crashed earlier in the day (though with a different player).

The first crash happened just after initial boot, as network manager was connecting my wireless. After I rebooted from that I opened firefox (two windows and a couple of tabs) and I heard the hd begin to write furiously (might have been the update manager). I touched my mouse wheel and the screen dissolved to black. Nothing worked. The hard drive light remained on steadily, but I couldn't hear if there was any actual writing going on. I hit the power.

A little later an interesting thing happened. I opened a text file in Abiword and I noticed my temperatures climbing steadily. My processor monitor showed heavy continuous processor use at about 80%. My temp. widget is untrustworthy - it shows four temperatures in the fifties (Fahrenheit - it says) normally - but I don't see why the trend can't be trusted. The temps rose until they peaked out above one hundred. I had to terminate Abiword (didn't close normally), and the temps. immediately dropped to normal, and the heavy processor use stopped.

I'm attaching my sys.log, kernel.log, debug and xorg.log files
