[Bug 46470] Re: System freeze with white screen

[Angus Kerr]

Hi

I have the same issue with Feisty (7.04) wih kernel 2.6.20 and all
updates installed.

System freezes to a white screen a few minutes after launch of Firefox
(also up-to-date). The only recovery option is a hard reset. I have not
looked at logs to see what happened in the kernel.

Disabling powernowd (sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/powernowd) did nothing to
help - the problem is still there. I am running an elitegroup ECS RS-482
Motherboard with built in ATI 200 Graphics card and AMD64 3500 proc.

System is currently unusable (but is rock-steady under Windows XP - runs
for weeks not requiring a reboot). Would love to dump Windows, but need
a stable Ubuntu system. I am considering other options - (Gentoo did not
seem to have this problem)

Please keep this bug open. And anything else I can do on my side to get
to the bottom of this and get the issue resolved.

Thanks
