Hi, I have the same bug (complete freeze, no mouse & no keyboard after a few seconds, no ssh, automatic reboot sometimes 2 or 3 minutes later) and here are some details which might help. First my configuration (it's a desktop computer):
Processor: i3 Board: Asus P7P55D Graphics: Nvidia GT940 Ram: 6GB Sound: external card Audio Kontrol There is a dual boot with windows on two different HD. I tried to install one after another Linux Mint, Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu Studio (for several different reasons), and here are some remarks about all this: - Things are much worse with Mint (because of cinnamon? Or because of the version of the kernel? gnome-shell under Mint was better at least). Even the live Usb froze several times. - Things are worse with gnome shell than with xfce or gnome 2. - I am now under Ubuntu 12.10 again, with Unity, and I discovered that JACK was one of the major problem (I tried to install Ardour & Co). Especially, during the installation of Jack when the system asks if you want to "enable the real time" (can't remember the exact message), choosing 'yes' is a really a bad idea, it can make the system freeze instantly. Now that I have said "no", things are much better overall. - Problems are arising usually when something is involved with the sound, with the graphics, or with the disks (partition of the disk, importing a big folder in rhythmbox...) Something seems wrong with drivers anyway... I'll try to use the internal sound card instead, and perform other tests with cinnamon and gnome-shell to see, but the major problem is that there is not a standard procedure to make the system freeze, as other people pointed out. I hope it helped, G On Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:16:49 -0000 Christopher James Leaf <[email protected]> wrote: > It seems that an upgrade to 12.10 worked for me, because it >has the new > kernel 3.5.

Update: 5/21/2012 Updating the kernel to 3.3.6 as suggested by Michael in #91, the system seems stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of hrs. Original description: I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly. I have to use hard restart every time. Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is freezing. I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card installed. Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04 and it bugs me not being able to use :( Below is my hardware configuration: Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation) Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL Ram: 4GB Graphics: On board HDD: 500 GB Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs I can capture (and how).
