I have just noticed, by accident (because I had the System Monitor open!) that just before a crash the duel cores I have seem to steadily rise in activity, %'s slowly but steadily increasing and then *POP* I crashed.
After a reboot: CPU1 = 1.1% with CPU2 = 5.5% (on average) Opening a program: CPU1 = 4.0% with CPU2 = 12% (on average) After leaving the machine overnight, downloading torrents and running music: CPU1 = 17% with CPU2 = 45% (while resting, just working) Continue to use machine after overnight use, open Firefox3.5, Pino, Pidgin, Thunderbird: CPU1 = 35% with CPU2 = 72% (then slowly rising from there) *CRASH* The last I saw before the crash CPU1 had hit around 82% and CPU2 was showing 100% for a couple of seconds. I have considered that this may have been an overheating problem at first but it is setting in a HUGE server case with only 2xhdd's and the 30cm side fan and 2 power supply fans, the CPU fan is fine. Besides, the machines longest run before a crash went for nearly 48hrs under various loads. I have also noticed that if I see the CPUs start to look too high in numbers, a logout and log back in seems to alleviate the problem for a while, but this means I need to keep an eye on the system monitor, and sometimes, one program will "trip it up", almost any program at all. Maybe, someone will make sense of this report, because Im running out of ideas. I know enough about linux to get myself into trouble but not always enough to get out; and at the moment I have tried everything that I am capable of to fix this beside buy brand new hardware or go back to Ubuntu 8.10?!?! -- Karmic/ AMD64 --Video/mouse/keyboard freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495932 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
