Anatomy of a hang

OK, seems like a memory problem then. So I've taken the 1GB out of my other system, and replaced the 768MB currently in this one. A complete memory upgrade: more memory, faster memory, and identical sticks.

The problem still happens.

And that's where it stands now. Next, I'll do the IotD, which will take a few memory-intensive, system-intensive things (maybe even Photoshop), and if this morning has been any example, the whole thing will just freeze up at some point in the middle of all that.

It just seems more hardware-ish. The motherboard is an Asus, whatever the most common Socket A AMD-supporting board was a year and a half ago. The capacitors are not bulging.

Your thoughts, anyone?
