 Systems that freeze after a period of use (but not when started cold) may be having problems with overheating.  This is especially true for laptops.  You can use lm-sensors to determine the temperature of the CPU.

 Run that command in one terminal window and this in another:
-   stress --cpu 10 --io 4 --vm 10 --vm-bytes 10M --hdd 2 --timeout 4h
+   stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm  2 --vm-bytes 128M  --timeout 4h
 This will stress the machine for four hours, or until it crashes ;)

-:Install and Configure lm-sensors
+====Install and Configure lm-sensors====
 * Install the lm-sensors package (see InstallingSoftware).
 *Run sudo sensors-detect and answer YES to all YES/no questions. I generally use the ISA bus rather than the SMBus bus, your choice to this question!.
@@ Line 8: / Line 8: @@
 *Next, run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools". This will read the changes you made to /etc/modules in step 3, and insert the new modules into the kernel.
 *Run "sensors" to get temperature readings.
 It is useful to have this running continuously and also have it logging to a file. The following file will record the output of sensors and uptime (so you can monitor the load and get a timestamp) in a file, every 30 seconds  and display it on the screen (thanks to the magic of tee and an infinite loop).

 *At the end of sensors-detect, a list of modules that needs to be loaded will displayed. Type "yes" to have sensors-detect insert those modules into /etc/modules, or edit /etc/modules yourself.
