Agreed - although this may be a different problem.

For the 6.0 machine which is freezing, the short hardware description you
posted is insufficient. You need to post the full output of 'dmesg' so
people here can see exactly what hardware you have. (Preferably from booting
in verbose mode)

There is also one simple thing which is worth trying: boot with ACPI
disabled. I suffered random reboots with early 5.x on my home machine, which
went away when ACPI was disabled (although later 5.x series were fine). It's
worth a try. If it works, then you can provide help to improve the ACPI
code.

Regards,

Brian.
