Hi All!

i have the same problem with my computer:  "Screen & Keyboard Crashes/hangs but CPU continues to work".
It is a rather new Netbook (Gigabyte T1028M) with Intel 945GSE graphics chipset. All hardware works pretty fine in ubuntu (unr) except the touchpad (but thats not the problem here).

I experienced the problem first with Jaunty. Then I tried upgrading to Karmic but the problem persists...
The screen is completely freezing, the mouse is not moving and no reaction to any keyboard input - even pressing the power switch (shortly) doesnt work.
I feel this happens only when i am somehow "active" clicking around somewhere and not while watching videos for example.

Anyhow, it is still possible to connect via SSH: I tried to restart gdm
typing "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". It says that this succeeded but
the screen keeps frozen... Probably the system doesnt even recognize
that something crashed (just thinking)

So i ended up typing "sudo reboot" to shutdown softly...

Please tell me what i can do to help you to solve that problem.
