If it were heat then I would expect to see crashes under heavy load, I give my machine a very heavy workout over ssh from my laptop on a regular basis (spinning up development clusters, heavy processing etc.) and it *never* crashes. When it does crash I am generally interacting with the desktop (Gnome or KDE) ... for me generally a web browser as that is what I work with mostly.
As it happens Shuttle have a power consumption page to test your power usage... http://global.shuttle.com/support/power We should be nowhere near power limits. So... now we are left with either a hardware fault, a driver issue, or perhaps a BIOS setting. Seeing as you get this on Windows I think the driver might not be the problem, that leaves hardware and/or BIOS. I have messed with the BIOS previously to see if I could get something more stable, but not too in-depth. I do keep coming back to the fact that I can run the machine totally stable with the VESA driver and the i915 driver removed. :-/ -- 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/1367825 Title: Intel i915 video driver causing random crashes on i7 Z77 system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1367825/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
