Hello Community! I had the same problems written above; my machine did freeze at random times after restart. My configuration is : ASUS P4C800 Deluxe Mainboard BIOS-Version: 1019.002 AMI-BIOS Intel P4 2,6 GHz 1024 MB RAM ATI 9700 PRO 160 GB Hitachi SATA-HDD as Bootmedium USB Keyboard and USB Maus from Logitech In various tests I established, that there is an relation between the freezes and the Powermanagement-Settings: BIOS: APM enabled ACPI 2.0 Support disabled ACPI APIC Support enabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu 7.04 Alternate Installation -> there are freezes at random times. There is no dependency on the used Graphics-Driver; by the way I had the feeling that the accelerated Ati-Graphics-Driver is more stable. BIOS: APM enabled ACPI 2.0 Support disabled ACPI APIC Support enabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu: Powernowd Service disabled There are freezes at random times. BIOS: APM enabled ACPI 2.0 Support disabled ACPI APIC Support enabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu: Powernowd Service disabled Acpid Service disabled Apmd Service disabled It is impossible to work with the system; the machine freezes a few minutes after every restart. BIOS: APM disabled ACPI 2.0 Support disabled ACPI APIC Support disabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table disabled Ubuntu: Powernowd Service disabled Acpid Service disabled Apmd Service disabled Now only Grub is starting; Ubuntu doesnt start anylonger. BIOS: APM disabled ACPI 2.0 Support disabled ACPI APIC Support enabled Bios -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu: Powernowd Service disabled Acpid Service disabled Apmd Service disabled Ubuntu starts again, but freezes at random times. BIOS: APM disabled ACPI 2.0 Support enabled ACPI APIC Support enabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu: ACPID Service disabled APMD Service disabled Powernowd Service disabled Ubuntu is more stable and freezes after approximately 30 minutes. BIOS: APM disabled ACPI 2.0 Support enabled ACPI APIC Support enabled BIOS -> AML ACPI Table enabled Ubuntu: ACPID Service enabled APMD Service enabled Powernowd Service disabled Kernel changed from 2.6.20-16 (generic) to 2.6.20-16-386 Now my machine is running without freezes since 5 days with many different progams and for many hours per day. I don't think that the Kernel-Changing is the reason for the stability, because another user (see also http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/88548/180/) has an freeze with Kernel 2.6.20-16-386 two days ago. So I think that the "right" APM / APIC Settings are the reason for the stability; but I have not the knowledge what these settings mean. Perhaps there is an onther one who can explain the settings and perhaps see the reason for the freezes. I look forward that my comments will help to solve these bug. Please apologize my bad English.
