Comment 75 for bug 762918

Jimmy,

I tried your solution, and I have had mixed results. It seems like it doesn't lock up as much, but I have had it lock up after making the change. It is hard to tell if the lock ups were caused by something else or if this only partially solved the problem.

Here is the detailed death-by-screenshot style description of what I did:

My symptoms are more like this bug that has been marked as a duplicate:

I also have an intel Chipset for my video card.
