(snip) I would like to thank everyone for assistance with my intermittent system lockup. I believe I've finally traced the problem down to a faulty hard drive. It would appear that the new Western Digital drive that I installed had a few bad sectors. I tested the drive with WD's own diag tool and it recommend an RMA of the drive. While waiting for the advanced RMA, I decided to try stabilizing the drive as much as possible through the use of fsck and a non-destructive scanning of all the drive partitions. That appears to have done the trick. The system has now been stable (even with prolific use of Mozilla) now for a little over a week. I just got the new drive and moved all data from the old drive with no problem. The system is still behaving properly. Once again, thanks to everyone. -- Jamin W.
