This bug does not only affect Intel chipsets, my AMD Fusion laptop freezes just fine.
To the people considering trying newer kernels, here is what it did for me, 3.3.6 and 3.3.7 made my system even more instable, it kept freezing, kernel 3.5 made it impossible to use Unity 3D and forced Unity 2D on me. So the kernel thing may work for some people but it did not achieve much for me. Several people have observed these freezes only seem to occur when browsing, here is what i did, i sudo apt-purged flash, installed the FlashAid Firefox extension which basically installs the best version for your system (64bit in my case) and applies some tweaks, i haven't had a single freeze since i did that last week. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
