[Bug 1458569] Re: System freezes randomly

 

I just had a freeze using rc8 BUT it happened when I was also using the
performance governor - that is, no CPU cycling going on.

** Description changed:

  After 10 min or so, or an hour.
  
- Workaround seems to be locking the CPU freq to something. I'm guessing
- there might be a bug in the powernow-k8 driver that exhibits itself in
- systems with the XPRESS 200M GPU chipset.

Title:
   System freezes randomly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After 10 min or so, or an hour.

  Workaround seemed to be locking the CPU freq to something but the
  freeze happened also when using the performance (max freq) governor.
  It remains to be seen if the freeze can occur when locking to lower
  frequencies. Perhaps the problem is not at all CPU freq related.

  I saw this bug on another laptop with AMD 32-bit + XPRESS 200M which
  is why I have suspected hardware/software compatibility problems.
