Maybe it'll give some insight when the next crash happens.
It'd be nice if there was something that stored the information x amount of minutes prior to a crash or something.........

It happens with graphics heavy stuff and during heavy compiles
(kernel..). Mouse is only sometimes responsive for a few seconds.
thought it was gone with 2.6.29 but it came back after a few weeks..
I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, overheating or something with
graphics since it also happened when I had installed windows a few
years ago to play at a LAN-party.
Now it starts to get annoying, I'm just waiting for the perfect laptop
that can be used as audio workstation..
