@Brian Semrad and @Joe Carey, and others who are new here, please read bug description.
This bug is about a *complete system lock-up*. No other TTYs can be started. Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset. This is NOT a compiz problem. 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. If you can still work with your system after crash/freeze or you can see the logs than this is not the same bug we're talking about in this thread. In my case when it freeze, it is dead completely. No logs, no mouse no keyboards (keyboard lights always blinks and if the sound card was playing something, the sounds will loop). The only solution is to hard reset, or just wait after a while (15-20secs) my system will reboot itself automatically. And to update Re #713: After applying the fix, it's been smooth and solid now for me. No problem no freezes. In fact I feel the system seems faster and smoother. Still, fingers crossed, it has only been a couple of days with no freeze. (Very encouraging considering before the fix, freeze could happen several times a day in random) -- 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.

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).
