I hate to hijack the thread, but I'm having hard lock ups as well.  Running
an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (it's an off the shelf system, so I don't
really know much more about it.  When I get home I can check on more
specifics).  When you say disable CPU throttling, do you mean disable
SpeedStep in the BIOS?  Or is there more to it?  Thanks!
