Good afternoon,
This is Fedora-19 on a 64 bit quad-core i7; with an Nvidia GEFORCE GTX
660. I most recently updated Fedora last Wednesday, Sept. 04.
At least once each day, the system just locks up with no advanced
warning or symptoms. It just stops responding to the trackball and
keystrokes. The display simply stops changing. The only things I can
do is a hard reset or cut off the power. I am not aware of any pattern
to what I'm doing when such a freeze-up happens. Once it happened after
logging in and simply launching a terminal window; another time I was
doing a "more" on a test file; another time I was reading e-mail through
Firefox; another time I was listening to a CD; another time I was
preparing to burn an audio CD. No error messages show up on the screen.
This problem has been occurring for a few weeks now, and was occurring
when I had Fedora-18 also. I just now think I have the time to try to
handle it. (I'm guessing this will take some doing!)
I'm just a home user. I have no sys. admin. training or experience.
How do I diagnose and fix this?
Thank-you in advance for your help.
Need a lot more info:
Make and model of computer
Video card type (nVidia, Intel, ATI, etc.)
Whoops, somehow I missed that in your initial post. My bad. Ok, nVidia.
My guess is still that the nouveau driver is having issues with your
card. The card I have trouble with is a GeForce 8200 and have to run the
nVidia binary blob drivers.
