Hi Scot,

Unfortunately, nothing of interest is being written to /var/log. Is there a recommended mechanism of debugging this fault? Any pointers to other things that I can configure (e.g., could the CPU speed stepping be the source of the problem?)
Is there anyway to determine what the temperature of the system is? From the description it sounds like the fans may not be running when
they should and the system overheats at which point it shuts it self
down to protect itself.
gkrellm was showing the CPU temperature within a normal level 60-70oC at the time of the freeze.
With acpi off if it is stable does the fan run all the time?
Fan operates normally without ACPI.
Not sure but it seems like there should be some where to specify
thresholds for when the fan runs.
Sorry, but the machine was fairly cool to the touch, certainly not hotter than it has been before.
It is a development machine, so it tends to run short but rather intense CPU load (lots of editing, followed by lots of compiling).
Thanks, Peter.
