Hi everyone,

I turned on my laptop to find it had become broken somehow. The screen during boot up (and in console) has unusual intermittent lines that appeared around some text. And when I tried to start X, it kernel panics. I was able to get the following output from dmesg before it died: http://pastebin.ca/544532

That is not a panic AFAICT. It's a softlockup warning -- the kernel is probably still alive.

Try booting with the NMI on, and see if you do actually get a panic.

What OS are you using, and what kernel version?


Although that looks like a driver issue, I can only assume my graphics card is borked.

Don't assume that the card is hosed -- it could very well be a driver issue.
