[19:31] <Hyuristyle> my Lubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.10 freezes frequently, any suggestions?
[19:34] <Hyuristyle> freezes completely
[19:34] <Hyuristyle> mouse, keyboard, audio
[19:35] <penguin42> Hyuristyle: Can you loginto it remotely when that happens?
[19:37] <Hyuristyle> never tried
[19:37] <Hyuristyle> but i don't have another computer
[19:38] <penguin42> ok, if you get the chance it's a good to test to see if the machine is really going but it's just the GUI that's died
[19:38] <penguin42> the other things you can try are ctrl-alt-f1 to get a text console sometimes works, also see if there is anything in the logs
[19:39] <Hyuristyle> no tty's too
[19:39] <Hyuristyle> the sound starts freaking and get mute after 2 seconds
[19:39] <penguin42> Hyuristyle: I think I'd try booting it without going into the GUI and see if it's stable just working at the command line for a while
[19:40] <Hyuristyle> generally, happens when i am watching a video or using blender
[19:41] <penguin42> so most likely graphics driver or possibly heat
[19:41] <Hyuristyle> hum
[19:42] <Hyuristyle> i think this processor is overclocked, Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz
[19:42] <penguin42> Hyuristyle: Other thing to check, does capslock still work when it hangs?  Just tells you something is alive
[19:42] <Hyuristyle> none
[19:42] <Hyuristyle> numlock stays as it was
[19:42] <penguin42> yeh this stuff is hard to debug with just one machine because you've got nothing else to prod it with
[19:43] <penguin42> Hyuristyle: Check logs when it's rebooted to see if you can see anything, and check CPU temperatures before it dies
[19:43] <penguin42> which graphics card?
[19:43] <Hyuristyle> ok
[19:43] <Hyuristyle> ATI 9600
[19:44] <penguin42> hmm old and simple
[19:44] <penguin42> is it ATI?
[19:44] <penguin42> sorry
[19:44] <penguin42> AGP?
[19:45] <penguin42> I had a machine that used to hate it's 9600, there were some where you had to drop the AGP bus speed for them
[19:47] <Hyuristyle> hum
[19:47] <penguin42> that was some years ago however
[19:47] <Hyuristyle> i don't know, i will check
[19:48] <penguin42> also when it reboots see if you can see /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old for any errors
[19:48] <Hyuristyle> hum
[19:48] <Hyuristyle> good
[19:48] <Hyuristyle> ok
[19:49] <penguin42> but depending on how it dies then it might not have a chance to write the logs
[19:51] <Hyuristyle> =(
[20:20] <Hyuristyle> yeah, seems to be AGP
[20:56] <penguin42> I seem to remember there are some flags you can set in the X server to downgrade the AGP speed, can;t remember the details
[20:57] <Hyuristyle> hum, good
[20:58] <Hyuristyle> i will search
