[wplug] System locking up

[David Ostroske]

I've had two systems lock up on me, and in one case, it was due to a faulty hard drive. I ended up getting a new hard drive and moving my old files to the new drive. (The old drive wasn't good enough to boot up from, but it was still good enough to read data files from.)

So, I'd say, check your hardware.
