Compaq F572US Locks Up with FC7

[Jim Duda]

I have a Compaq F572US, with AMD Athlon Turin X86 with nvidia graphics 
adapter.  I really like the laptop, however, it occasionally hits a hard 
lock up and I have to reset and reboot.  The computer runs really slow 
with Windows Vista, but works fine with Fedora :-)

I'm not sure how to tell if this is a software configuration problem or 
I have purchased a lemon.

I'm running latest Fedora FC7 Moonshine, up-to-date.

My kernel boot options are noapic irqpoll noapci

Can anyone share experiences with Compaq F572US laptop computers?

Thanks,

Jim
