Hi
I know this has been asked before, but everyone else with this problem had a intel graphics card. I got nvidia...:mad:
So the problem is:
I recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and I have used 9.04 before without problems.
I did a clean install and dual boots with windows. When the installation was finished I installed all updates and the nvidia graphics card driver. Everything seemed to work fine for about 15-20 minutes. Then the system froze up. I was writing a text file, and I could still write and move the mouse, but I couldn't click on anything. I turned the computer off by holding the power button. I restarted it several times, but it still froze up after about 20-30 minutes.
Once i was browsing the web with firefox, everything froze up except scrolling down with the mouse wheel. Nothing else worked:(
I have tried downloading the graphics drivers from nvidia.com, but the system still freezes.
Do anyone else experience this? If so how can I fix it?
Thanks for any help:p
EDIT:
Some specs
Laptop model: Acer Aspire 5920G
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T5550
Graphics card:Nvidia GeForce 8600M
RAM: 4GB
Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows vista dual boot
