[mythtv-users] System constantly locks up

Yes - reported no problems.

I have 512MB of swap and it seems to be hardly used at all. It looks
like 64MB would have been more than enough.

Haven't done that. It's plugged into a power outlet where there's lots
of other stuff plugged in like TV,  DVD, receiver, lamps etc. Maybe I
should change the socket it's plugged into. But would power cause
lock-ups - I thought it would just make it reboot?

Heat not a problem. I cut a hole in the case and installed a 120mm fan
to make sure!
