I had a similar problem, random lockups, system totally non-responsive, reset the only way to get the system back up. I tried swapping out all my hardware with no solution until I install the system onto an old IDE drive I had, the SATA drive was fine, in fact my system runs on it now so I figured it might have been a chipset driver issue (or not?) Either way changing from a SATA drive to an IDE drive solved it for me. Hope this helps, Brian. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
