Mint 12 Lockups

I upgraded my R60e to Mint 12. At first it worked well, doesn't it always, but I'm now getting lock ups when running. The first few times it happened, I was on sites with heavy flash. I thought maybe that was it, but then the last time I was just typing up a document and it locked up. I had to kill it and reboot. When it locks up, I can usually alt tab through the programs, but it doesn't do anything. I never had this trouble with 11. Is there something I should be looking at? Thanks for any help.

 

When it locks up, can you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get into a terminal to log in, and then do something like:

Code:

sudo less +G /var/log/syslog

and

Code:

less +G ~/.xsession-errors

And scroll backwards through the logs for clues?

Or if you can't switch to the terminal, it's a hard lockup and is probably a hardware or driver issue. We can dig into bug reports for your hardware if that's the case...

 

Thanks. Will do if it happens again.
