This affects me too. Regular freezes with complete computer lock-up needing a hard re-start. Very high CPU loading when viewing video on-line. Last line of logs always refers to tsc clocksource unstable Reading the various logs and boards this has been going on for far too long. I'm seriously thinking of reverting to 8.04 as this was rock solid. When it first happened I assumed it was something to do with my ATI video card so I went out and bought an Nvidia card. Still happens. -Computer- Processor : 2x AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ Memory : 2034MB (516MB used) Operating System : Ubuntu 9.04 OpenGL Renderer : GeForce 9400 GT/PCI/SSE2 Kernel : Linux 2.6.28-11-generic (x86_64) Desktop Environment : GNOME 2.26 X-ORG Version : 1.6.0 Video: Vendor : NVIDIA Corporation Renderer : GeForce 9400 GT/PCI/SSE2 Version : 3.0.0 NVIDIA 180.44
