I have to agree with Valentiv. My system's symptoms are also system wide hang-up (not just keyboard / mouse lag), it becomes totally unresponsive and only hard reboot is available as option but who...

Hello again everybody and thanx for your valuable input.

For the last few hours I 'm back on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) - clean install and until now I didn't experience any of those random freezes / system hangups. I will leave it on for many hours just...

I can also verify that system hangs completely as soft reboot

@frncz Thanx a lot for your input although personally I don't use Ubuntuone so I don't think it's the case for my system at least.

Anyway, I re-installed Ubuntu 10.04 today from scratch using the...

Well if you eliminate hardware failure and having a i8xx Intel chip (see my posts above + http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478787) what else could cause the random freezes / lockups of an...

Well no luck with dino99's suggestions as my system did crash a few minutes ago after being on for almost 24 hours with heavy browsing, torrents, listening to music, etc. This time happened while I...
