As an added piece of information, my 64-bit Gutsy was running without any sign of the freeze, with ATI R300 card and the 8.37.6 fglrx driver, on an AMD 3200+ single-core chip. No compiz, no xgl.
Then I increased my RAM from 2 x 256MB to 256MB + 1GB, and the freezes started - random time, no apparent relation to what I was doing or not doing. They go away if I take out the extra RAM and replace the original 256MB stick. They come back if I put the extra memory back in. The new stick checks out with memtest, and the manufacturer's specs say the machine (hp zv6007us) will handle up to 2 x 1GB of RAM. My symptoms are extreme freeze - no keyboard input, no Trackpad input, so I can't use any of the tricks for rebooting except power button. The freeze does not seem to go away if I wait. -- gutsy amd64 freeze crash lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
