Problem with Athlon64 machine

I've been having problems with my Athlon64 machine
(Targa with Asus motherboard) with recent kernels.
I wonder if anyone else has found this?
Basically, the machine hangs if left for a few minutes.
I suspect it is something to do with ACPI.
I've tried both the "official" Fedora kernels,
and one (2.6.11.8) which I compiled with Athlon64 chosen
as the processor.
I had difficulty compiling this with the official kernel,
as I got several segmentation violations.
Some at least of the violations occured during C++ compilation.
The machine seems to work perfectly under Windows XP,
so I assume the problem is something to do with Linux
rather than the hardware.
I know there are several things I could do,
turn off ACPI, write down the oops information, etc.
But I just wondered if other people have had
the same problem?
As far as I recall, there were no problems with kernels
prior to 2.6.10 , but that could be wrong,
as the machine is mainly used by my grand-daughter
for Sims-2 under Windows-XP.
