After Andreas' comments about multi core processors I switched off one of my Athlon dual cores via the bios. Since then (about four days now) I have had no freezes despite switching Compiz effects back on and throwing every video loading I could at it. In fact the system seems to run faster, albe

@ Carey Underwood This may have turned into a hodgepodge but, in my opinion as a non-techy, there is something fundamentally wrong for so many people to be having similar issues. I've had to turn off multiple cpu support to get 100% stability which is not a satisfactory solution. It may help i
