@Renaud: If you have a system responsive enough to interact with to kill processes, this bug is not the right place to comment. Compiz problems causing your user interface to lockup are relatively common place and NOT the same problem causing a COMPLETE HARD LOCK, which result in a completely unresponsive computer which is what this bug is about.
As a follow up to my experimenting, I can reliably reproduce this bug within a timeframe of about 24hours. I left my system without XBMC running, had an uptime of 5+ days. The same night I used (and left running) XBMC, hard lock. This is the vanilla XBMC package from the Precise repo, installed via the software center. Again, just to reitterate to other commentators, this bug is for those experiencing a COMPLETE HARD LOCK, resulting in a system which is not responsive to ANY input, loses network connectivity, frozen video output, and often the audio which is output at the time of lock is looping. So those who are able to interact with their system, to switch terminals, kill processes, ssh in remotely, should look at other bugs. -- 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).
