Sorry I can't give you a solution. This is just ment as a me too. Since 
the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 (respectively 5.2.1) the system is pretty 
unstable on my Athlon-MP (Asus A7M-266D). It broke acpi and I was not 
able to upgrade to gnome-2.6 since compiling takes more than one day and 
the system crashes during this period (for example). I never had 
problems with 5.1 and am running 4-stable without problems since 5.2 was 
released, so I do not think it is a temperature problem (on my side, 
uptime several weeks).

Greets,
Kay
