@Vast One: I somehow came to the same conclusion yesterday! While trying to update my BIOS (which I never managed due to yet another ubuntu issue...anyways), I had to restart my computer quite often (Dell E6400). In doing so, the system froze, or at least went very slow, even before doing entering KDE (usually the problem appears with video playback under KDE), and it was impossible to make my computer work all night! I tried 2h and then realized the computer was extremely HOT! This morning everything is back to normal.
@Manoj: Do you think this might be related to some power management issue or overheating/overclocking? So now, a way to reproduce the problem on my Dell E6400: hard reboot it every minute, then it will be hot and will freeze be slow after less than 60s uptime. Let me know if you need anything else. -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
