feisty freezing recently

[Maning Sambale]

Just sent my machine to the shop.  It seems to work just fine, they even
loaded a win XP hard drive and it still OK.
Plugging it at home, I didn't use my old AVR.  Its now working for about
2 hours and it looks to me that the AVR (which was very old) causes it
to freeze.

I hope that settles it.

cheers,
maning
