BIOS update didn't help. I worked with Blender, and it freezed. I switched to terminal (sometimes it freezes whole computer, this was not this case) and killed X server manually. In X log is the same error as before.

Here is output from desired command:

BAP6710H.86A.0079.2012.0622.1722

and Xorg log is attached.

Vaclav Cermak, could you please test Utopic via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

[Vaclav Cermak (disnel)]

Tried, but .... Live uses Nouveau, which is useless in current state (surely for Blender). I tried to sitch to NVidia binary drivers, but this does not work in live. I'll not reinstall my system to development version of Utopic. So, how can I test it with NVidia drivers in live session?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Vaclav Cermak, could you please be more specific when you state, "Live uses Nouveau, which is useless in current state (surely for Blender)."?

One should be able to install the nvidia drivers in the live environment, log out, and log back in and it would begin to use it. One may verify it's being used via:
lspci -vvnn

and look for nvidia for the VGA entry.

[Vaclav Cermak (disnel)]

I tried to install nvidia drivers in live, but it does not work after log out and log in. It freezes before desktop can appear, only distorted background shows. I'll try it later with another dekstop image.

[Vaclav Cermak (disnel)]

Another try with 23-Sep-2014 live .. it crashes during switching drivers to Nvidia proprierary ...

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Vaclav Cermak, are you able to do a test with the Vivid live environment via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ?

[Vaclav Cermak (disnel)]

Will try it, but in fact, I didn't noticed this problem for a long time, maybe it is already fixed by some update.
