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).
