Tazx, as per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product- page.aspx?pid=4639#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (307). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297861 Title: [Gigabyte U24T] Screen Freezing Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Screen Freezing. Turning down the volume seems to have at least decreased the frequency. I'm using nvidia-prime, and so had to update the kernel. Hope that's not the issue - cheers, Tamsyn.
