Computer locking up after several days' uptime

[Dotan Cohen]

Thanks for all the ideas. It turns out that I cannot ssh while the
machine is unresponsive/hanging because he is behind the university
firewall. I will make sure that the machine is not overheating, and I
will ask specifically about Open Office. How could I get to the syslog
and dmesg logs if the machine hangs? Wouldn't they be overwritten on
next boot? (I'm on a very flakey stealing-the-neighbor's-wireless
connection as we are 'vacationing' at the mother-in-laws for the new
year. The answer may therefore be a quick google away but that will
have to wait until Thursday :) )
