I have a HP Pavilion g7-1365dx laptop that is constantly freezing up (doesn't respond to any key/mouse actions except the power switch) at random times the most reasonable explination I can think of is overheating and thus I have gotten one of those laptop mats that has a fan in it but to no avail (makes it less likely but now that stuff is heating up in late spring [I have no AC]) it is happening again... I use the machine for totally routine desktop stuff (surfing the web, watching flash movies and some lite java development).... my guess is that for some reason the FreeBSD CPU/bus speed controls and such are not working based on the following item I found in my dmesg's: acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd, ignored (-273.2C) I have no other clues so far
