thx!!! I've updated my BIOS. So far I've had a few crashes ... but it wasn't clear if it's not due to my new mt7601Usta patched wifi-driver ... usb wifi stick ...
If I see the patterned screen with full freeze again I'll send another bug report ... If not, I'll give it a few days and change the bug-report status (if I don't forget) ... thx, J +--[ RSA 2048]----+ | . | | . . o | | . o + | | . = . | | S = E o| | o + * o.| | o @ + | | + * | | ... | +-----------------+ +------------------+ |tn?bo | |i-?* | |+c1 | |=? | |f # ## | | # # | | # ## | | # # # | | ## ## | +------------------+ jsstyle.github.com 2015-11-01 11:53 GMT-04:00 Christopher M.
