My symptoms were different, in that I have problems with both UP and SMP (although UP did seem more stable). I also tried a clean install of 5.1-RELEASE (right off the CD's), and that would also hang up. Since I *know* this machine had been running fine back at the time of 5.1-release, this was pretty significant. I took the PC back to the place I got it from, and they ran some kind of diagnostics on it and said the motherboard is bad. They're replacing the motherboard. So, unless I have something more to say when I get that back, it looks pretty likely that my headaches were hardware-related.
