My system crashes every day, with the same message. My taskbar is also not responsive to the mouse so the only way to retrieve minimized items is the "alt-tab".

I would be happy to give hardware details if the development team think that is helpful.

As time goes on....I would bet I have a different problem. Ive run numerous programes at the same time including a graphic intensive processing software with no lock up. Today I was writing an email and that was the end. I rebooted and the same thing happend after 10 sec. Now the system seems fine. ...

Thanks again. I may load xfce if necessary. My wife uses this computer as well and I don't think she appreciates too many changes. On the flip side I like to switch things up:) Asides from basic web browsing and word processing, I'm thinking of using it as a camera and telescope controller. Wish me ...

Thanks. Do you think there would be any advantage to trying xfce? I would imagine this computer would be used more popularly on windows certainly being more resource intensive?
Thanks Richard

Thanks. I wasn't aware that the cinnamon desktop was resource intensive. I'd be happy to go with xfce if that's better. I've had freezing issues with both Firefox and google chrome. Oddly in the last two days the computer hasnt froze at all. Perhaps when it happens again I could send a /var/log fIle?

Here is my system: System: Host: rkonrad-X751MA Kernel: 4.4.0-53-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.2.7 Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena Machine: System: ASUSTeK (portable) product: X751MA v: 1.0 Mobo: ASUSTeK model: X751MA v: 1.0 Bios: American Megatrends v: X751MA.208 date: 01/26/2015 CPU: ...

I did do a memory check with memtest and it turned out fine. Please let me know if there is any additional information you'd like from me.

Hi all, I have installed 18.1 Cinnamon on my Asus X751M laptop. It randomly freezes during general web browsing, streamed video, and also on lock screen. When this happens there is no way out and I have to manually shut down the system and restart. I have done the usual updates not including the ker...

I have aquired some graphics software that is prohibitively resource intensive. In fact the developer has recommended that I run it under a ram disk environment. Currently I have 24 g of ram. I'm not quite sure how works. I've googled the best I can but not sure how I would actually run an applicati...

I should add that the dvd's are fine. I have successfully made /burned dvd's through DVD Styler.

I am using the most recent version of Tovid (SVN) to make dvds with menus. The operation seems sucessful in every way until I conclude with the burning. This is the error message i get after executing "tovid dvd -burn [iso file]: 99.95% done, estimate finish Tue Dec 16 11:30:35 2014 Total trans...

So are you suggesting that I disable the Nvidia GPU in the bios so I can get access to the onboard one? I don't recall making any changes to the bios to get the Nvidia one working - nevertheless my memory could be failing....

Richard

Hi, I installed my system on Mint 15 and at that time it didn't support my onboard graphics card. So instead I bought a Geforce 8400 which worked fine and serves my purpose even though it has less memory than my onboard. I want to find out now if my onboard graphics card is now supported - but I can...

I got my sound to work by reinstalling the nvidia driver.

I've been running Mint 16 xfce for a number of months with no problems. Today, I have been messing around with Netflix-desktop and Pipelight - installing and reinstalling - now suddenly I have no sound. I checked pulse and alsa to be sure nothing's muted and all seems fine. Just to make sure my syst...

Sorry I didn't include that I am using xfce mint 16

I've been using Darktable to edit my raw photos - it's a wonderful tool! Lately though I've been attempting to put together some raw video and so editing multiple dng files. At first I was able to do this but gradually Darktable would crash intermittanbtly. Now it crashes immediately upon opening a ...

Sorry if this topic is covered - I couldn't find information. I'm trying to make my computer a server for my son's Minecraft habits. The first step as I understand is to assign a static ip address. Most information online suggests a change in /etc/network/interfaces. "eth0" is not listed h...

Enable DPI and increase the value. This seems obvious but I though I'd tried it! Sorry to waste your time.

I have found font display on the desktop to be too small to read. Having struggled with this issue for some time, I found the solution was to go into setting / fonts and uncheck custom DPI. Now all fonts that have to do with "menu" type items display perfectly. This works for all applicati...
