before replacing or installing newer cpu, do what has already
been mentioned.

clean away old thermal paste, apply fresh _white_ *high temp*
thermal paste.

_do_not_ use a clear paste. clear does not give needed transfer.

as for installing newer type cpu, contact AMD support. who would
know better? ;-)

to find out if cpu is causing problem, use this script;

   #!/bin/sh
   while true ; do
     sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors
     sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.
   done

when system locks up again, open "00-check-sensors" to see history
for temps and fans.

years back, i had a 586 system locking up. running above script
showed memory fan was slowing down. replaced fan, problem ended.
