Ok here is my files but I edited them back to the original state.
I know when it locks up the cpu there is something on the screen that 
says /dev/fb0 no such device.
I would assume its in the log file but this stuff is way over my head 
the troubleshooting aspect.
My files are posted here:

If there is anything else we need to troubleshoot please let me know.
