Hello everyone who seems to be in the same sinking boat, I guess I'm here to join you.
I've been trying linux for about a month now, and with the same similar problem as many of you. My system will lock-up and I can't use the mouse or any keyboard buttons. I have ran openSuse and ubuntu hardy 32 bit, also just started running ubuntu hardy 64 bit. I noticed with a GPU temp sensor that whenever my temp of my GPU gets up to 61C and hovers there without dropping, the computer will reliably lock up, and the best thing to do is to let it cool down. It seems to get really hot for no reason, since I'm running cooler in Vista right now (and in my opinion Vista should be running much hotter because of how taxing it is on hardware). I would also like to post for the dev team that I have tried out Alpha5 and Alpha 6, both causing the same lock-up problem. It seems to take longer to heat up in these versions because the system seems to use less power in Intrepid, and I would love to switch but I'm trying to find an OS that won't freeze after getting too hot. Even though I realize that it may just be doing this to protect my hardware. I have no logs of my problems, but I feel confident that my case is a GPU temp problem, after having tried many things. I doubt it is IO in my case because its usually when I'm browsing in firefox (which causes my computer to run hotter) -- Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
