I've tried several different versions of Ubuntu to see if any one of them is stable. I've tried 32 and 64 bit versions of 12.04 and 10.04 Ubuntu. All clean installs and have had a variety of results, it seemed like in most cases it would freeze more frequently the more updates I'd install. However, the clean install would also cause problems. I would actually get problems as early as logging in, as in it will freeze before my desktop even worked.
I have also had it freeze almost immediately on a VMWare Player running through windows 7. I had some rather sever glitches with playback of video games (Portal 1) on windows 7, especially when rapidly minimizing and maximizing the game and sometimes on regular play which would replicate this error in some since. The windows community believes it was due to over heating which is potentially true for windows, unlikely for this bug listing. I am currently running Arch Linux without compiz and really haven't had any similar problems what so ever. I've tried different versions of Gnome and several of the many fixes suggested here with no success. I'm somewhat suspicious dual monitors at least enhances the frequency of crashing. I really want my ubuntu back, why is this marked as no fix? Hardware: I7-3930K + Intel DX79SI, 16GB Ram, Intel SSD 520, XFX Nvidia Geforce GT N640 (also happened with MSI Radeon HD 7770). Dual monitors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI and Intel graphics. If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug. Thx. Joris V. (brains). Update: 5/21/2012 Updating the kernel to 3.3.6 as suggested by Michael in #91, the system seems stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of hrs. Original description: I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly. I have to use hard restart every time. Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is freezing. I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card installed. Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04 and it bugs me not being able to use :( Below is my hardware configuration: Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation) Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL Ram: 4GB Graphics: On board HDD: 500 GB Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs I can capture (and how).
