[TriLUG] Hardware stability issues

[Bill Weinel via TriLUG]

Swapping hardware between systems is the way to go on troubleshooting 
this issue.  From past experiences in troubleshooting lockup issues, the 
problem is often found to be on the video display card.
Since that's a very easy swap, I would swap it first. Then on to the PSU 
afterwards if that doesn't yield results. Also be aware that some BIOS 
setup differences can also cause lockup issues... so check that there 
are no differences between the BIOS configurations on the two machines.

Take care,
Bill
