I have - after having upgraded from 7.2 to 8.0, started experiencing
system unstability, with crashes about every 12-24h. Last time my
system crashed, I got the following screen output:

Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
couid =3D 0; apic id =3D 00

Uptime: 12h19m9s

Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort


(Typed in manually while reading screen).

What might be the problem? How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance!
