I am running 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-35-generic-pae (32 bit) on a Dell E521 AMD dual core machine. I have experienced hard locks (IE a power off job) and partial locks (still responds to raw keyboard mode commands Ctrl+Alt+Sys Req+r etc). The last hard lock was a few days ago. But this is always triggered by compiz. Often compiz will crash and offer to send a report and restart, but the locks are always triggered by this action:- Click on Dash button, type in search characters, and then: *click on a result*. Its always that final click (to start or spawn somthing) that causes the lock in my case. This is an upgrade from 10.04 and I have an nvidia Geforce 210 card with the "version-current updates" driver. This is my work PC, and its sad to say I have never had such an unstable box.

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).
