I've been experiencing computer lock ups at least once a day.  I have
had trouble finding anything in my logs at there doesn't seem to be
anything unusual.  However, I think I may have finally found something.
It looks like it may have something to do with Firefox, although I try
to close it everytime I leave my computer.  It seems to happen when I'm
away and never when I'm actually using the computer.  Also, I've noticed
that after I press the reset button, it then won't restart properly.  I
either get a lock-up on the splash screen or I see a bunch of commands
that involve a call trace and eventually kernal panic, in which the boot
locks.  I have noticed, that if I leave the computer off for a few
minutes, instead of immediatly restarting after the error, it will boot.
I have attached the part of the log where the lock-up might have taken
place.

I'm using the latest updated version of Hardy.
