Christopher, I was on Vivid and had crashes, since moving to the nVidia card and drivers the system is rock solid. Never crashes, ever. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1367825 Title:

I did the same, went for the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 ACX 2.0 from the official support list. Early days, but no crash in 48 hours of solid use. I adjusted every setting in the BIOS while running on the Intel embedded chipset and had no luck, last ditch attempt. It would seem that this is looking very

If it were heat then I would expect to see crashes under heavy load, I give my machine a very heavy workout over ssh from my laptop on a regular basis (spinning up development clusters, heavy processing etc.) and it *never* crashes. When it does crash I am generally interacting with the desktop

I've also used the latest drivers from 01.org... https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads No dice. Same graphics crash. I am now on 15.04 and the issues persist unless I switch to VESA. Gareth, yes, I believe that using VESA bypasses the GPU. What I find is that the heavier the memory use the more

My main concern now having heard your side of things from a Windows point of view is that this is hardware. I am starting to suspect it might be a power thing... the XPC PSU isn't the highest rated so am starting to think that might be something... hardware outside of the normal XPC items is: *

Yes, exact same Shuttle system. I have also run memtest86+ for a long time. I do find I can reduce the number of crashes when not using VESA by removing one or two sticks of memory, starting to thing it might be power related. Very close to getting a known working AMD card and sticking that in.
