Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I've recently upgraded from my perfectly working 8.10 to 9.04 beta. I'm using the amd64 version. Everything in the system is up to date as 04/04. I've also used memtest86+ and everything is ok.
Since I upgraded, the system randomly freezes, stoping to respond to anything (it happens at very random time intervals, sometimes very close to each other, sometimes not so). Can't change to a text terminal using alt+ctrl+f1-6. Using alt+ctrl+bckspc doesn't work either (I've disabled don't zap flag, so it works when the system is responding). I have to power down the system holding the power button down (its a laptop, so I don't have a resert button).
The system is a HP Pavillion dv2735la. I think there's more details of the hardware in the files I'm attaching (its the first time I report a bug, novice ubuntu user, around 4 month using it).
If you need any information just ask, as I don't know much about debbuging errors please explain where to find it.
PD: sorry about my english, i'm from Argentina.

Heh, blinking capslock is a fairly good sign you're getting a kernel oops, not X.
Look for the docs on troubleshooting kernel problems.
