The suggestion was put to me that this might be due to broken / buggy hardware, and that testing (say) a Feisty (or other) Live CD would help to verify that possibility.
A personal suggestion would be to run the "memtest" option from the boot menu, and let memtest86 do a thorough scan and see that the system RAM is working correctly. If you see any crashes there, check the BIOS menus for hardware temperature monitoring and make sure the system isn't overheating. If you see any memory errors reported, then you need to replace the RAM chip(s) effected. -- Xorg crashes very frequently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
