[Bug 1414477] Re: system crashes with blank screen ususlly white

 

I finally figured out the problem.  The problem existed in almost every
live version that I have successfully run in the past including Knoppix.
I do not know how the BIOS got changed because I did not fool with it as
I did not know it.  The video BIOS was set to NOT use the integrated
video card.  I set it to use the integrated video card.  An additional
benefit is that it runs faster.  I did not change the bios because old
versions of Knoppix would not run.

Title:
  system crashes with blank screen ususlly white

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The system crashes with a blank screen many times, 8 or 10 times this
  AM.  Chrome crashes, Firefox crashes, PCManFM, copying and pasting,
  scrolling, and many other apps.  It crashed this AM during an Update
  system and nothing else was running. I think I was scrolling the
  details.  I can not give any dumps because it won't run long enough.
  I listed some info in terminal and it crashed scrolling it.  Maybe it
  is hardware, but it seems to be running now for at least 30 mins.  I
  think I am going to change distros.  I tried many things including
  running some live CDs and DVDs with differing versions of Ubuntu on
  them to see if I could determine a place when they stopped running,
  and thought I figured it out, but I did not have it figured out.  It
  has been crashing since I installed 14.04, I think.  I may have some
  non-standard repositories. I ran 12.04 for about a year or 2.
