It is rumoured that Tommy Hallgren had the courage to say:

That may be, but though I've got most of my lockups when X was running, in
most cases X was doing the screen saver (blank screen) and I was logged in
remote (or the system hang occurred during the night).
Anyway, the system hangs don't seem to be related to heavy memory usage.
(Even people with Asus dual pentium boards get smp related system hangs.)
Also, my Abit BP6 board was just fine (uptimes of 20+ days or so ;- between
-current updates) up and until last christmas or so.
So, I'm not inclined to thinking it's a hardware problem at all.
Regards,
Dave.
