Complete Freeze 8.1 RELEASE (KDE/Gnome)

aorchid · #1 October 28th, 2010, 20:30

Hello,

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. In the last two days I have had two complete freezes of the desktop while running KDE 4.5.1 on 8.1 Release. I had upgraded shortly before leaving town to 4.5.1 from 4.4, so I have not been using it much until this week. I never had such freezes previously. It has only happened thus far with Dolphin open (I see others have reported crashes with Dolphin), but I am completely unsure if it is involved.

During the freeze the keyboard and mouse become unresponsive and the screens do not change. I must do a hard reboot to get the machine back. I have tried to ssh into the machine during these freezes, but I get a timeout. I am running a 24-core machine and am surprised this happens.

How can I further investigate the cause of this freeze? Anyone else with similar experience? I am using the nvidia driver.

Thanks,
