Halvor, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product /optiplex-gx260 an update is available for your BIOS (A09). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a09 ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 946899 8086:2a02 [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed...

I've recently upgraded to 12.04 Then shortly after that I couldn't play videos. The players would either crash or not display the video, only the audio. I've filed two bug reports for vlc without getting anywhere so far. Now I just ran checkbox-gtk and I was told that the graphics deisplay test failed. Hopefully there lies the problem for all my recent system troubles. I'd like to mention one more symptom. Since this error thing appeared sometimes all cpu is used, which is not normal at all even though I have a very weak cpu. Xorg alone would consume 40% of the cpu. That's all I can think of. I suppose you will be able to locate the two previously filed vlc bug reports since there were some attachments to those that you might want to look into, Let me know if I need to do anything else.
