PC periodically hangs

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 Description of problem: PC hangs - can't get remote access through ssh (didn't try ping). Num lock key still works but not much else appears to. This has only started happening after the following was fixed: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121222 The problem seems to be worse with the 2.6.6 kernels that I've tried. I've currently gone back to the original test3 kernel (kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.327) to verify that HW is not causing a problem. Will try to leave machine on overnight in the near future with just the graphical login screen (to show if something that is running under X may be triggering the condition). No kernel messages logged. "Normal" log messages cease when the machine hangs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.368 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in graphically 2. Wait 3. Actual Results: After a period of time (was days with kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.35x) but seems to be hours with kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.36x), the machine hangs. Expected Results: Shouldn't hang. Additional info:

Out of curiosity, does this correlate at all with use of the sound system?
I'd forgotten about this bug as I haven't seen it for a long time (currently running 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 on the machine in question). I don't recall any correlation with sound usage. Anyway, either by accident or design, I can only assume that the bug has been fixed.
problem fixed with 2.6.9 update kernel ?
Haven't seen the issue since the my last message in July (either with FC2 or FC3). Whatever the issue was, it's gone.
