Hi Christopher, I've tried the available pre-built packages but there are graps between the binaries and upstream. The early 3.16.0 kernels work for me but with no graphics acceleration, which I think is why they don't crash. It looks like the later builds switch acceleration back on and thats when the problems occur.
So I think the *real* problem must lie somewhere between 3.13.0-44 and the version of the kernel before 3.16.0-23 that still had graphics enabled. Here are the results I've come up with so far: linux-image-3.13.0-44 (trusty) - OK linux-image-3.13.0-44 (trusty) - OK linux-image-3.16.0-23 - Doesn't crash but seems to be using framebuffer video + no sound linux-image-3.16.0-28 - Doesn't crash but seems to be using framebuffer video + no sound linux-image-3.16.0-33 - accelerated graphics working but crashes linux-image-4.0.0-rc6 - seems mostly working but crashes on shutdown (observed twice) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438708 Title: frequent lockups asus g705js/GeForce GTX 870M To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1438708/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
