Athlon64 X2 vs its halt bug



Greetings all;

I have a box thats locking up occasionally, and I am wondering if there 
is a watchdog program using the usual onboard hardware as a timer which 
can, if not "petted" issue an NMI or signal that will kick this cpu back 
out of a halted condition?  Since its running cnc machinery thru a 
custom card that has its own watchdog that disables the card and stops 
the machine in a couple milliseconds, that part is covered, but my only 
recovery recourse is a powerdown reset.

Searches with synaptic don't seem to be find a likely culprit, so I am 
asking the list.

Thanks everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
