What whatever would I need to replace to cure the hang upon bootup of linux
on my PC? It doesn't even tell me it's crashed.

A better message was in Win 3.1 (Unexpected Application Error), the the
program closed, users complained, each version of Windows has a different
message, UAE, GPF, IPF because users didn't like the message, what a f***ing

should be worried about.
