just another bit of info...even though the previous comments really cover the problem pretty well...i have same problem and i don't think it hardware related...i installed ubuntu 12.04.1 about one month ago and find it can freeze up at random times and it happens both when you are using the system or when it is just there sitting idel...it is almost as though ubuntu is checking for updates or something like that...
my system locks up to where no mouse or keyboard will wake it up, not even a quick push of the powere button. i have to hold down the power button for several seconds till the system powers off and then power back up to get ubuntu runing again. just for grins and giggles i installed ubuntu 12.04.1.LTS on an older HP DESKTOP using an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHzX2 with 2 GB of memory and 155.4 GB of disk space...the OS TYPE is 32 BIT! I love it when i runs...however it will freeze in maybe a day or make it 5 days before freezing...i thought it was the HP monitor or mouse with the roller so i switched them out and the problem still happens... hope this helps nail down the problem...keep up the good work...we really do appreciate it... jerry -- 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).
