Hard lock-up crashes, need some clues!

[servis@purdue.edu]

Hi all,

Very unpredictably(so far) my machine will lock-up hard.  I can't
ctl-alt-del, no mouse or keyboard response, not even any jsr daemon
response(uses joystick port to signal reboot).  The only indication in
the logs are strings of binary characters showing up as ^@.  I have to
hit the reset button and hope my hard drive isn't trashed.  Does
anybody have any ideas of what to look for?

Thanks,
 
Brian
