ive been reading those threads for 3-4 days... and i think i might have found a solution that could work for some. Well... it works for me, Its been stable for a few hours and i could never pass the 10mins mark until now.
I have a HP Pavilion 92077I with more ram. I tried Ubuntu Desktop, Server (+kde), Server (+Gnome). Version 12.10 and 12.0.4. I tried Latest Mint and latest Debian... all the same results... total freeze after a few mins in the graphical interface. Complete lockdown. No mouse, no ALT+F1...nothing. Had to hard reboot everytime. In a few cases i couldnt even get through the whole install process. I/O Errors. (with 2 different drives) God im tired... I tried everything. Changing the HD, the video card, checking the RAM. Switched the cpu, the network card, etc. With all the combinations above. Then i went to the BIOS ( i hate myself for not having tried that before) and found this setting: "on chip serial ata ": Disabled/Combined Mode/Enhanced Mode/Sata Only It was on "enhanced" for the whole time. After setting it to : Disabled.. if finally worked! I should have known that. My drive id IDE. Cant believe i missed that. If you do have an SATA drive..make sure its set accordingly in the BIOS. Anyway... maybe its not all our issue here...but i thought maybe it could help someone. I created an account here just so i could post this. Even if it helps only one person, then mission accomplished.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Bug description: Update: 6/12/2012 This bug is about a complete system lock-up. No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI and Intel graphics. If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug. Thx. Joris V. (brains). 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).
