Basically, I can only use either Firefox or Thunderbird once, or sometimes twice, per session, before the system freezes and requires a cold boot. Pressing Alt+SysRq+1 followed by Alt+SysRq+t does nothing. It is a total system freeze and requires a cold boot. Problem began after installing upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 (raring). My system is: Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) Gnome 3.6.3 Kernel 3.8.0-19 generic GCC Version 1.13.3 CPU Athentic AMD Model AMD Athlon 7850 Dual-Core Graphics Card: NVIDIA C61 (GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a)
