Try booting with the `noapic' option. Looks like your APIC is getting itself unprogrammed. Check that you're not overclocked and not over temperature.
Booting with noapic did not improve anything.
The processor is not supposed to be overclocked. How can I be sure of that ?
Further investigations showed that the problem will occur only when Xfree 4.0.1 is running with an smp kenel . Xfree 3.3.6 is ok. Could this be a bug in X ? I thought that the kernel should prevent such a bug from locking the computer.
Thank you again for your help.
