[Bug 267836] Re: Memory intensive programs cause lockups

2009-02-22 Thread keithieopia
In general the biggest causes of lockups are bad RAM, usb related issues (ssb, ndiswrapper), or video drivers. Make sure you test each one of these rigorously and include how you did so and the results of the test. Rather then having several people continue to post that this issue still isn't fixe

While your issue sounds similar to my fixed issue, it's ultimately a different problem. Under my issue, the system completely locked up without warning or cause and could not be unfrozen... my problem was with 99% certainty something buggy in the kernel and not related specifically to ubuntu as it

Sorry for that but the problem still exists. But luckily I think i know what causes this. Running ubuntu 8.10 since yesterday. Kernel is 2.6.27-11. Of course the lock-up was caused by Firefox3, when i tried to enter a certain site. I managed to break the lockup by some barbaric methods. I have a

Kernel 2.6.27-9 appears to fix this bug under Ubuntu Intrepid, and I can speculate that it's the same case for other Distros as well. Downgrading to any of the 2.6.24 kernels brings this issue back, which leads me to believe it was a kernel or module related and not any specific package. ** Chang

I've heard from other bugs that downgrading the kernel to 2.6.24-16 stops the freezing for most, so I'm going to try that and see. Also, I'm going to try the new Intrepid kernel to see if it stops the freezing also. -- Memory intensive programs cause lockups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267836

Not a duplicate of #133192, freezing occurred last night. I ran Memtest for 32 hours on each computer, then before submitting the bug, I ran it again for ~23. Since I ran it on all 3 computers and it passed (and three separate computers are having the problem), it's pretty much save to say it's no

How long did you run memtest for? I would run it for at _least_ 24 hours before being somewhat confident that it was not a memory problem. -- Memory intensive programs cause lockups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Not sure if I've fixed it, but at the very least slowed down the frequency of lockups. A combination of these options in xorg.conf when using the fglrx driver seem to help: Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "TexturedVideo" "on" Option "AGPMode" "8" ** Description changed:
