Heya! Just wanted to update the information here. I've read a lot on other bugs and ubuntuforums about people's hypotheses about why their computer crashes all the time since upgrading to the Heron, so I've been testing their theories on my sad, little computer.
I've pretty much ruled out the overheating problem - it locks up at between 52 and 59 degrees celsius, and is not consistent as other people have seen. I thought it might have to do with processor, memory, network, swap space, system, or disk overload, so I'm using the system monitor with all of those little diagnostic screens working away in my lower panel (it kind of looks like a patient in the ICU) - but when it locks up - they're all in the low to normal range, so I don't think I've hit on anything there. I even read where someone thought humidity was the culprit. I live in Washington, DC - f that was the case, it should be crashing continuously, and it's much too erratic for that. Today the humidity is 84% and while I've crashed twice already this morning, it's working fine now! I can't make any sense of it. Oh yeah! I updated the kernel to 2.6.24.19.21 yesterday. I was all excited at the prospect of not crashing anymore, but that dream was dashed first thing this morning. Did I mention that crash means full kernel-level lock-up? No save, no reboot, no magic sysreq REISUB, only unplug the machine and start over. grrrr... I'd like to help solve this, but need a little guidance to get anywhere.
