After normal boot,computer might operate normal for a while.The freezes occur at random while using any application.The only way to get out is by shutting down and reboot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
on Kubuntu 64 bit amd computer,just use any application and computer will freeze at random.


Expected Results:  
software should work without having to crash when least expected.

Does the freeze also happen when compositing ("Desktop Effects") are switched off?

If this is still happening, we need more information which component would cause it. Try booting different operating systems, different desktop environments, different video drivers, different window managers, or with a fresh new user account on the existing system. Eventually, you can find combinations when the error appears, and when it does not.

You could ask on Ubuntu forums if you need help with those steps, see http://ubuntuforums.org/

Problem persist and its intermittent.I have replaced the video drivers
twice, which is a NVDIA Geforce Fx 5200.Computer also runs a dual booting
operating system such as Windows Xp with sp3.*K8M-800M mother board.*AMD
Sempron 3100+ / 1.8 GHz ,*64-bit,Memory installed *2.0 GB*d*,DDR400SDRAM.
Windows Xp program runs with excellent with no mayor issues.Will create a
second users account to see the behavior.

Am running openSUSE 11.4 with all the latest and greatest updates on a HP 
Pavillion dv6 portable with an Intel i7-26xx processor and a Radeon 6k series 
video card.

First off, KDE does not lock up on my other AMD systems running the same 
software, only the two latest Intel i5 and i7 systems.

The worst offenders are games, Shisen Sho and Patience. Shisen Sho will lock 
up the system 100% every time on the first play. Sometimes the system will 
lock up just after booting and logging in.

I decided to run Xosview beside it to see what goes on when 
the KDE locked up.

It appears that the CPU running the game goes into a race condition, showing 
nearly 100% utilization and it will go on indefinitely.

The mouse cursor still moves but buttons do not respond.

The only solution is to hold down the start button till system shuts down.

If this is happening with KDE 5, please leave a comment.
