[Bug 595335] Re: Computer shuts down on heavy CPU usage: I get a caught signal 15, shutting down

 

I'm currently on lucid-proposed. But I've been having this bug for the
last week or so, before adding this source.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
- When I'm ripping a CD or doing OCR or other heavy CPU demanding
- situations the computer reboots itself and I get to glimpse a "Caught
- signal 15, shutting down".
+ When I'm doing a demanding CPU activity (ripping a CD, OCR, etc), the
+ computer reboots itself and I get to glimpse a "Caught signal 15,
+ shutting down".
  
- This only happens when I use the free ATI drivers, not with the
- proprietary fglrx.
+ This only happens while I'm on the open-source ATI drivers. When I tried
+ the proprietary fglrx drivers, it doesn't happen.
