b) What hardware you're running tells what parts of the kernel and which modules you are using. That's why it's important. Yes, it is probably a software issue, but indirectly, it could be a hardware issue, too.
There's also the possibility that you have a coincidentally timed power issue going on. I had about 15 computers running on cheap cases and power supplies that started locking up hourly at the end of April, right when the weather (and my apartment) started getting warm. The warm weather was causing power fluxuations which was causing lockups. As soon as I moved them into quality case/power supply combos, the problem was gone. Solid as a rock. But that's kind of off the subject....
What you should do is systematically go through your hardware, replacing and removing stuff until the lockups go away. Once that happens, you'll know what the problem is. That's what I did to fix my latest lockup issue. I took out the ethernet card, still got lockups. Swapped out the RAM, still got lockups. Moved my USB cable, no more lockups. Pretty easy.
Good luck.

P4, MSI mainboard, intel chipset, 865 I think. Nvidia gfx card. using usb mouse and have nokia phone usb cable pluged in.
All worked fine on redhat 8. So I belive it's a software issue.
