Oct 11, 2010when I start playing some medium-intense game the computer just restarts randomly. I made a lot of search on it and even tested various things. I have been having this system for about a month and the problem appeared just one week ago.I am a big fan of "Spring: TA" and that's the easiest way to reproduce the problem, by playing that game(and the most annoying). The funny thing is that when I just start the game the gpu temperature raises very fast. If after some time the pc doesn't reboot on itself the temperature just gets lower and lower. I was suspicious that the problem had to do with temperature so I made some scripts and logged the temperatures in every instant time.

Jan 13, 2010Since I updated twice to the two newest versions (currently, Cairo Dock 2.1.3 beta) it every hour or so it randomly restarts which causes 50% tray icons to go bye bye (especially those of Wine programs). If I want to get them back, I have to restart the computer or at least the program with missing tray icon.Anyone knows why CD restarts or how to get back my missing icons after it does?

Jan 31, 2011I've recently installed Fedora 14 (x86_64) on my Alienware m15x laptop which has a NVIDIA GTX 260m onboard. Now I have followed leigh123linux's guide to installing those drivers on F14. The installation is a success and everything seems to be in working order, until the system randomly logs the user out and/or restarts the session with no warning. The screen goes black and the nvidia logo appears and then its back to the login screen again. This can happen many times with no apparent stop insight. This does not happen with the default F14 drivers that come with the installation, I have tried several re installations of the Fedora OS and several re installations of the NVIDIA driver, i still have the same problems.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Keyboard Has Suddenly Stopped Working In Gnome - Mouse Still Works
Jun 16, 2010My keyboard has suddenly stopped working in Gnome (Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, Toshiba satellite laptop, P300). It works fine to logon, and with KDE.
The last thing I did before it stopped working was to hold down a shift key for too long, while I was thinking about what I wanted to do. The 'sticky keys' prompt popped up, which I killed. After that the keyboard has died - in *all* applications (e.g. gedit, terminal etc.)
The mouse still works. If I logout of Gnome, it comes alive again to type in the logon password. I had a look in messages, but without any enlightenment.

Ubuntu :: Upper Gnome Panel And Docky Will Disappear Randomly?
May 2, 2010I've noticed that my upper gnome panel and Docky will disappear randomly. I've deleted the lower panel. The last time the panel and Docky did this, I was using Rhythmbox and Google Chrome. Tooltips will still show on Docky and the panel, and I can still select things; however, the buttons are invisible. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Aug 18, 2011yesterday I tried to convert a file with ffmpeg and as usual I type the first letter of the file and hit tab to auto complete and nothing happened, I then cut and pasted the file name, no such file or directory I have 41 files in ~/videos and if I hit tab without choosing anything gnome terminal gives me the choice of just 1 file, ok just tried it again first time only 1 file second time 4 different files 1st file can't be found. I can't do anything from the command line, is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour ?
Edit: I just installed aterm and gnome terminal found some more files and now can't find them again, aterm seems to be removing the first 4 letters and replacing them with spaces
Debian Multimedia :: Gnome Theme Menu Arrows Have Randomly Disappeared
Jun 25, 2011I'm running Debian Squeeze, and I have a gnome theme called "Moomex" installed. I have had it for a while and it has worked fine, until it suddenly stopped displaying menu scroll arrows (like for long bookmark menus in web browsers). I can still scroll, but in place of the arrows is a solid colored rectangle that clashes with my theme. I went searching and found my theme's arrow image files (see code below). I have no idea how these files are implemented into the theme display, so I don't know how to re-enable them. I tried reinstalling the theme, but it changed nothing. These arrows show up just fine in any other stock theme, and they were fine in this one too until they randomly disappeared.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Keyboard Layout Changing Randomly - GNOME In Slovak Language
Jan 30, 2010I have openSUSE 11.2 with default GNOME desktop and i'm facing issues with keyboard layouts, which are changing randomly. Problem is that i have GNOME in Slovak language and therefore has openSUSE set durring installation my keyboard layout to 'Slovak' but i always change it to 'Slovak QWERTY' which suits me better.
Problem is that randomly system adds back to my layouts which are 'Slovak QWERTY' and 'USA' also original 'Slovak' layout which was previously removed.
I must always manually remove this third layout and it's very frustrating. Many times on fresh system boot it's anyway back and so on and on... Where may lie the problem? Why is GNOME not respecting my settings? In Ubuntu i never have these basic issues. Are there on system boot some specific SUSE triggers which are overwriting my configuration?
Ubuntu :: Restarts When Try To Boot?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Computer Restarts Every 5 Seconds?
Feb 13, 2010About two weeks ago I installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop with a dualboot to my windows 7, which was already on there. everything went fine, but I couldn't configure my wireless to work, so after a few days I gave it a rest and basically forgot about; I just stuck with windows. anyways, yesterday night I installed a program called solidworks on my system. I woke up this morning, turned on my computer, and this is what happened-
it turns on for about 5 seconds, but when it hits "grub loading", after about half a second it restarts. it's basically an infinite loop, until i throw in a cd or hit f8, but I don't know what to do with either of those options, so I'm kind of stuck.
I'm posting this in the ubuntu forums because I have NO idea what's wrong with it, and no idea of where to start. I've got both installation disks, but I don't know what to do when I put them in. I've got an intel pentium 4 processor, and like i said, i've got a dualboot with windows 7 and ubuntu 9.10.
Ubuntu Servers :: Server Restarts When It Wants?
Jul 12, 2010I'm currently using ubuntu desktop 9.10 (without desktop - I've removed packages) as OS on my server.But there's going on some strange thing ... There are about 8 users, and the thing is they many times user rar or some other disk-demanding programs. What I've noticed is that sometimes server will go with load over 20 (I know that's not good ...) and it will come down in few minutes and everything is OK, but sometimes it just restarts itself. I would like to disable that so it won't restart
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: PC Restarts After Booting From DVD / Stop It To Do So?
Jul 31, 2010I'm a WuBi user, and wanted to upgrade XP to 7, I've upgraded it partially when in XP. So as expected he messed up my grub.
But now I have the problem:
Every time I insert the Windows 7 DVD the pc says "Please press any key to boot up from CD/DVD" (as normal), but when I press the "any" key, the PC does absolutely nothing and just restarts.
Not to long ago I used the same DVD on another laptop for an equal upgrade (XP to 7) that went flawless.
My booting set-up is correct, cleaned the disc 500 times now, nothing out of the ordinairy done to my boot-screen or the BIOS... And as far as I know, no blue screen of death when installing the upgrade.
I haven't got a clue what I have to do.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Ctrl+alt+dlt Which Restarts The Computer?
Dec 23, 2010this problem has really been getting at me, I can't figure it out at all. About a week ago, I came home from school and found that my computer was shut down (usually I leave it on), I started it up in Windows 7 and a Malware Bytes scan said it found a virus "clipb.exe". Well, I decided to remove it, and when booting up in windows it BSOD's saying IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL immediately at the login screen. Same result in safe mode and "last known configuration". Well, I decided to reformat just because I didn't want to go through too much trouble, and about a week later (today) it came back. I have no clue how, I was away from my computer. But the difference between this time and last time is, I can't start ubuntu at all. period. It gets to grub, and then after that gets to a black screen with no progress. The only thing I can do is ctrl+alt+dlt which restarts the computer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: X Restarts When Programs Open?
Mar 25, 2011my X server restarts and boots me to the log screen when I start programs. I recently took the Nvidia card out of my computer and put in an ATI card. This is of course after uninstalling the Nvidia drivers through the restricted drivers interface. This worked out very well but eventually I went back to Nvidia. I removed the ATI drivers put in the Nvidia card and installed/selected the Nvidia drivers just as I did when I did this the other way previously. However now when I start just about any program the entire X server boots me back to the login screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Laptop Restarts Itself In It And GRUB
Jul 11, 2011My laptop restarts itself frequently - full restart back through the bios screen to the bootloader, not just logging-out. It happens in Ubuntu 11.04 (32 bit and 64 bit), the Gnome 3 live CD from [URL] (the Fedora based one, run from a USB stick) and even from the GRUB bootloader menu. I have tried two different harddrives and two sets of RAM (all combinations) and the restarts still occur. They even happen when the hard drive is removed and Ubuntu 11.04 is booted from USB. Windows XP Media Center is also installed on the laptop too but the restarts have never happened when in Windows (even though they can happen in the bootloader!).
The memtest86 GRUB menu entry loads the blue screen with the title and memory info etc. but it seems to stop there and I don't think it's actually doing any tests, so I haven't been able to do a memory test. In Windows I have not installed any wireless network or 4-in-1 card reader drivers (among others probably), which is a possible reason why it does not restart in Windows, although I don't think GRUB has drivers for either of these devices either. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5630 with the following hardware:
CPU: Intel Core 2 5500 (1.66Ghz)
Memory: 2GiB DDR2
Graphics: Intel 945 (integrated)
Audio: Intel HD audio with Realtek codec
Wireless: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]
It does seem that sometimes the restarts are caused by touching the keyboard (i.e. they happen exactly when I hit a key) but they also sometimes occur when I am not even touching the computer at all.
General :: Ubuntu 9.10 Constant Restarts
May 17, 2010My dads' hard drive went up a while back. So we got him a new one and installed Ubuntu 9.10 instead of windows. All was going well until About two weeks ago. The system restarts randomly. Not when anyone is doing anything in particular. Sometimes when we are using firefox, sometimes just sitting on the desktop, and never after any certain amount of time.Some times its after five minutes, some times after several hours. It's not a full out crash, the window for shutdown/switch user/restart comes up out of nowhere. When we close the window, it shows back up pretty quickly, but then the computer will just crash. While restarting, half of the time the computer won't make it past the bios screen before restarting again,and will continue the bios restarting cycle until the computer is unplugged. By the way, the system is a dell dimension E310 from 2005 with all of the original hardware minus hard drive inside, so if it is a hardware issue that wouldn't surprise me. Also, just one time after the restart I received the message "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16" , if that helps at all.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Server Restarts Continuously?
Jan 31, 2010Recently, I updated the kernel to the latest version and also installed Ruby and the Passenger module for Apache. The server was fine for a few days.However, today, it's been restarting randomly (usually a minute after I can log in).I tried booting with recover mode so I could view the logs for a longer period of time, but that caused it to restart before even allowing me to log in. Now, all boot modes will just cause the server to restart right after the GRUB messages appear.Our server setup complicates things. We have a RAID-1 mirroring for the /boot partition and a RAID-5 (software) for the / partition

This computer is dual-booted with Win 7, and the shutdown command there properly halts the system.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Restarts On Boot After Upgrade?
Nov 1, 2010I had perfectly working lucid on my laptop (64 bit) which I installed from a live CD not wubi. I tried to upgrade with update-manager and everythingooked fine until I accidentally updated compiz from the cache before everything else finished. this made compiz stop working completely, which also broke metacity. I tried to fix this with multiple things: Downgrading compiz (failed to apply changes), sudo apt-get install -f, finishing the upgrade (see the following).
during the applying changes stage of the upgrade i got an error with almost every package it tried to apply (sorry I don't know what, but it said something about 'this package failed to upgrade and may be left in a broken state'. I let the upgrade finished and at the end it said 'Upgrade Finished but not all changes were successfully applied' and I shut down the computer. when I turned it back on everything looked fine until I past to the usplash screen. Then the screen went black, a bunch of error messages scrolled by too fast to read, and my system rebooted.
I tried recovery mode and another kernel choice at grub but all did basically the same thing. Windows still works as much as it usually does but I want my ubuntu back! I am OK with doing a fresh install if I can somehow recover a small amount of my data in my home folder. If you can tell me how to get into ubuntu from windows or something that would be great but I also need to know how to decrypt my home folder (I used the encrypting option in the installer)
Ubuntu :: Meerkat Maverick Only Restarts Will Not Shutdown
Nov 7, 2010I can chose Shutdown from the menu but the system gets to the point where the power supply should 'click' and shut off. It doesn't, it cycles and the system reboots. It wasn't doing this in 10.04, at least not towards the end prior to updating to 10.10 beta/rc/final. Also, 10.10 didn't do this either, until recently. (Current default = 2.6.35-22-generic)
Here's the funny thing though; if I choose a previous version from the GRUB2 menu, 2.6.32-21-generic for example, the login screen won't allow mouse nor keyboard control but will shut down normally w/ a single, momentary push of the Power Button. Now, there are folks w/ a seemingly similar problem, but in their case they can't shutdown at all. My trouble is a shutdown just triggers a restart.
