It seems that using the proprietary drivers from Nvidia resolves the issue. I switched to the proprietary drivers since december 7th and haven't had a crash since. Even using Firefox full time which previously crashed my system within the hour.
This hints to me that it actually is a Unity issue, where applications like Firefox make more use of specific things that crash the system, than others. I'm using a NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1) now with the nvidia-340 driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432492 Title: Firefox and Thunderbird freezes entire system after a few seconds of use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1432492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
