Setup

  • Lubuntu 12.04, XP dual boot
  • ATI RS480 graphics

Problem I get random lockups about once every 3 hours or so.

Symptoms

  • PC hangs with (typically) a small bar-code style square in top left quadrant of the screen or else a totally white screen.
  • nothing entered at the keyboard causes any response (ALT SYSREQ b etc)
  • power off/on is necessary to get going again
  • has happened with both Firefox and Chromium, so can't blame the browser
  • cannot ping or ssh to the PC from another device on the same LAN when it happens
  • nothing is output on Netconsole (on the same LAN) at the moment of the lockup
  • XP never locks up so it can't be bad memory
