I'm getting these random lockups a few minutes into using Ubuntu that I cannot recover from. Check out these pics:  
My hardware is:
Biostar tforce6100-939
AMD64 3700+
2x512 DDR memory (generic)
40gb WD IDE harddrive
IDE CD/DVD writer
Corsair 450w PSU (brand new)
According to this wiki this mobo should be perfectly supported under ubuntu UbuntuWiki:Biostar Tforce 6100-939 - Ubuntuä¸*ć–‡
I'm thinking it may be video driver related - I tried all three of the suggested ones found by ubuntu, and even uninstalled the previous ones. Under XP on this same hardware I have run prime95 with no errors. I have run memtest with no errors.
Does anyone have any idea what the heck could be going on? |
When it starts up you will get an option to go into recovery mode, do that. When you're there you will see an option, I think it's the last one but it's fairly obvious (might be repair xorg or something along those lines).

Yeah, it definitely looks like a driver issue to me too. Should I download the linux geforce driver appropriate for the card and force ubuntu to use it?
I did download a ***.run file from nvidia, but am kind of clueless on how to execute it in ubuntu. |
There are instructtions on nvidias website as to how to run that file. If you get stuck tell us what stage you get to.
