I do not believe this problem is caused by compiz. I experienced random lockups both with compiz enabled and disabled. I have an nVidia graphics card and use the restricted drivers. No specific action causes the freeze - it's happened while I was in the middle of typing, while the computer was

I'm still having these problems after upgrading to Gutsy. I have a Pentium D 830 with an ATI radeon X600 (RV380). I was using the open source radeon DRI drivers with aiglx to run compiz-fusion. Yesterday I decided to try switching back to the restricted ATI driver and xgl. Haven't had a crash

You may be onto something there. I have not had any crashes in Gutsy since I initiated the restricted drivers. Interestingly enough, I was using restricted drivers with 7.04, and that was still giving me freeze issues. It wasn't until I made changes suggested by |V|isterX in the Ubuntu forums

Riccardo, Looks like powernowd has two parts. Kernel module(s) and the client daemon or whatever. If apt-get removal doesn't help you - your problem is kernel modules. Oops. I have similar case with some of the kernel modules, computer hangs when playing video and the problem is one of the kernel
