Two systems but one is with an Matrox MGA! Both require cold boot. Both are completely updated. Both are AMD Athlon XP systems.

  This system has been very good right up to about a week ago.
  Lockups now consistent, until I changed gnome power management to put display to sleep after only 3 minutes. Now this box doesn't have lockups. As if the run time of the screen saver has an impact. Call me crazy, but I swear the temperature controlled fans on the mobo are running faster now than previously even when though the load is 0.01 and basically idle. Back in breezy, the fans only ran this hard during the pretty screensavers or other heavy loads. I need to test more, but I think fans only start running hard after the screensaver has been active, like everything starts out ok.

  This system is brand new dapper install on a box that had reliably run Fedora for 1-2 years.

I can provide any other data, if needed.
