[SOLVED] Intermittent Screen Freezes

<< < (2/3) > >>

pauloz:
 OK Jerry, I've done both commands. The "Install Drivers" option displays the same 4 proprietary drivers available as I previously posted.

Thanks
pauloz

Jerry:
Try the following, open a terminal and do:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
--- End code ---

Then reboot.

altman:

Gee , it was in the Report , sorry about that mate .

Hi Scott

Updates have been installed. The freezes are mainly when going into Firefox or Chrome (I prefer to use Chrome), but have occurred at start-up and in Thunderbird. Proprietary drivers available:

1. NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.125 from nvidia-304 (proprietary,tested)
2. NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.125 from nvidia-304 - updates (proprietary)
3. X Org X Server - Nouveau display driver from XServer-xorg-video-nouveau (open source)
4. NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 173.14.39 from nvidia-173 (proprietary)

Also, a message comes up: "This device is using an alternative driver", which is NVIDIA Corp:C61 (GeForce 6150SE nForce 430)

Thanks
pauloz

Scott:
Hi Pauloz,

Have you updated the system with:
    Menu > All > Install Updates

Are any proprietary drivers available when you run:
    Menu > All > Install Drivers

What are you encountering intermittent screen freezes on? Are they general and random freezes or do they happen while on the internet using Firefox?
