[64studio-users] Laptop freezes when fan starts on 64studio 2.0

I think that's more likely than the fan itself being the cause. There 
are a couple of things you can do to track this down:

1. As root, look in /var/log/syslog for an entry at the exact time of 
the lock-up - probably the last thing before the line 'localhost syslogd 
1.4.1#18: restart.'

2. Run 'top' in a terminal, hit shift-P to sort by CPU usage, and when 
the freeze happens, if you are lucky you will catch the process which is 
the cause at the top of the list.

Cheers!

Daniel
