Perhaps there is a misunderstand here: the PC was already updated to the last available BIOS version. If there is a but in the BIOS, than that bug is not going away. BTW I have a friend of mine with a laptop with AMD CPU and more or less the same NVidia card that had similar problems resolved in the same manner: installing the 12.04 generic kernel.
When (if I can) put my hands on that laptop I'll send a complete but report for that too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1456184 Title: NVidia VGA freeze with new kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1456184/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
