I had a similar problem with lm sensors. This was a while back, if memory
serves as soon as I'd start lm sensors, X would freeze or crash or I'd
get a spontaneous reboot. OS was Kubuntu 8.04. It happened with two
different computers, both Intel chipped mainboards, but neither was
running integrated graphics.

Anyway, the trouble disappeared for me without uninstalling lm sensors.
All I had to do was stop running the program.
