Old problem but seems to have recurred. Just did a fresh install of LL2.6 on a Packard Bell "Vista" era desktop. Athlon 64 2.4GHz, 2.5GB RAM, NVidea C61 GForce 6160 graphics. Starting Firefox (40.0.3) gave immediate system crash - not even mouse pointer movement and weird screen - repeated small patterns with nothing intelligable. Hard reset was needed. Tried Chrome and got the same. Used "Settings/Install Drivers" to replace video driver from X.Org with "Tested propietory" NV legacy 304 125 and all seems OK.
Desktop: Running LL5 on second HD in ACEPC model MK1: "Mini PC 4GB RAM 64GB ROM Windows 10 Celeron J3455 Processor Mini Computer Dual HDMI, Support mSATA / 2.5 inches SSD/HDD 4K, Dual Band WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0". Don't normally use the supplied W10. Also use LL on netbook (Using xrandr to "expand" the screen) and various old laptops. NAS drive and web server hosted by Raspberry Pi's.
