I'm posting because my desktop randomy freezes (and it's getting pretty constant, max. 20 minutes into a session): mouse freezes, window manager doesn't work, keyboard shortcuts neither. (System is an Asus EeePC 1001PXD). After forcing shutdown, it often boots into a black screen, not even a BIOS splashscreen.
I've read tons of posts regarding similar problems (some on XFCE, some on cinammon), and have tried the following:
- Fixing broken packages
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install -f
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
- Updating to newer version of BIOS, as Eeepc's are known to have battery-related issues linked to BIOS
And then, after booting up post-freeze and post-force-shutdown, I got this:
Is there any way I can check to see if there is a hardware problem, before persisting with fixes or making a new, clean install ?
Thanks guys!
