Hi all, I'm using Ubuntu Studio 17.04, all patches up to date, on an AMD Phenom II x6, 8GB RAM.
I'm seeing total lockups of the PC at apparently random but increasingly frequent intervals. Usually it's once or twice a day, but I've just had two less than an hour apart. When it happens, the only noticeable difference is that the cursor looks like it's got a sort of shadow image of itself just to the right of the real cursor (i.e. they almost overlap) but when this happens, NOTHING works (that I've been able to find), the PC is totally unresponsive, the only way back is to hold down the power button until it switches off and then reboot. If I have the speakers on at the time, then a distorted sound comes from the speakers (it's hard to describle, like a VERY rapid deep-pitched ticking) and that will continue until the PC is powered down. I've tried and totally failed to tie this down to any particular software I'm using at the time, I've even had it happen when I've been away from the PC. The strange effects with the cursor suggested to ne that maybe X.org.log.old might have some indications of the problem, but I can see nothing suspicious once I've rebooted. Anybody else seeing this sort of problem? More importantly, does anybody have any suggestions as to how to go about diagnosing it?
