Hi,

I have the following configuration:

  • CPU: amd athlon 64bit
  • Motherboard: Phoenix with awardBIOS v6.0 APIC mode = disabled
  • Video card: GeForce 5500
  • Sound card: soundblaster live 24bit
  • RAM: 1.5GB

Partitions:

  • ext3 32GB where I installed Ubuntu.
  • Swap 500MB.
  • 180GB Fat32 unmounted. contains data only.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and used the "Additional driver" program to get the nVidia proprietary drivers.

The system works for sometime and randomly freezes. The mouse and keyboard are not responding and I am not able to do a SSH. The only solution is pressing the power button.

I tried Kubuntu 10.10 and 32/64-bits versions as well.

There is nothing in the logs to suggest what the reason might be.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
