Description Bojan Petkovic 2010-07-28 12:25:33 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100506 SUSE/3.5.10-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.10

I installed openSUSE on my two Netbooks. I have on both the same problem. When the system is working hard, i have often a crash. It is most when i watch a flashplayer-video (IN FULSCREEN!!!). Sometimes by using skype. Sometimes by using yast for installation. One time when i used a beamer with the clonescreen. I downloaded openSUSE more times and made more times a new installation. It is not the medium or a bad installation. It is the Kernel, the X-org, vga-driver the ram management. 

It is a serious problem of openSUSE 11.3. Updates don't help. openSUSE 11.3 is unusuable on this netbooks. openSUSE 11.2 works great.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Watch long flash videos in fullscreen. 
2. or make a lot of things at the same time in Firefoxbrowser
3. or when using yast to install software
Actual Results:  
System crash. Sreen is freezing and you can notihg do any more with the mouse. Sound is freezing (We, we, we, we... => for "weather". 

Expected Results:  
You can do nothing more, only turn the sistem off by physical button.

I also have these problems in my Acer Aspire 5310. Aproximately, I usually have a crash each 3-4 hours, which is certainly annoying. In my case, I'm not using a large amount of applications (I had the last one only with KMess, MozillaFirefox and Okular opened).

I had such a situation on my MSI Wind notebook too.

I tried this solution and it worked:

Priorities are set by assigned engineers.

Does the proposed workaround work for you too?

If not, you would need to append more information. Mostly output of hwinfo is what we need at start.

It works well on my netebook

Comment 6 Jiri Slaby 2010-11-07 14:41:56 UTC

Then it's likely a dup of that one.
