My HP 8510w laptop freezes after logging in to my freshly installed 8.10 in both i386 and amd64 variants. It boots up fine on a USB-stick and the live system works for at least 30 minutes. When I decide to install it to HD, the installation goes well.
When I boot from HD and log in to the system it comes to a complete halt about 1-3 minutes after logging in (lit screen, progress bars and clock stopped, no response from mouse & kbd). I couldn't find any obvious errors in the logs on the HD after booting into the live USB again.
I swapped back the drive with my working 8.04 for now, but would really like 8.10 to work.
The 8510w has a nvidia quadro go 570m graphics adapter and intel 4965agn. I have a feeling it could be one of those messing it up. How would I go about to find out which one?
