Bad things are happening...
Highly likely hardware problems. A complete hardware lock (requiring a
reset) is very unlikely software related.
Do a full (14+ hours-all tests selected) memtest on the thing.
My apologies for a newbieish question, but what's memtest? (Obviously
some kind of memory test, but I don't see a package for it, and man -k
doesn't turn anything up on it). Google turned up memtest86 -- is that
what you refer to? (I'm assuming so, and am about to create a boot disk
of it.)
