Greetings All,
Long time reader, and as you can see first time poster - I was not able to find a solution
to an "issue" I am having :-)
I recently added a Radeon HD 5450 to our Ubunto 10.04 LTS system (Dell Optiplex 745)
with all the latest updates.
The video card upgrade (from the on board video) was so the workstation can have 2
screens.
All seemed to be working fine, until randomly the system locks up and we have
"checkerboard" pattern on the screens - the system does not respond to keyboard
commands to go to a terminal screen. By Randomly - the system was fine one day for 8 hours, the next day it does this after 5-15 mins of logging (on these systems only firefox and open office are used)
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! :-D
The "screenshots" taken with my phone can be seen below:
