System reboots on heavy 3D activity (i810 + Intel 82G965 + Compiz)

[Samuel Abels]

Whenever there is a lot of 3d activity on the screen, such as a 3d screensaver, a 3d game, or the rotating cube in compiz, the system immediately reboots. The syslog does not contain any error message.
I am using the latest versions from Apt:

xorg 1:7.2-0ubuntu9
compiz 1:0.3.6-1ubuntu10
xserver-xorg-video-i810 2:1.7.4-0ubuntu1

Attaching Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf, and the output of lspci.

Additional notes:

- The problem also happens when compiz is not used.

- The i810 driver was not automatically recognized, I added it to xorg.conf manually. By default, the generic vesa driver was used.

- As can be seen in the Xorg.0.log, the driver fell back to 1600x1200 though 1920x1200 is configured. I have opened bug #99119 for this.

This is also happening to me. The system randomly reboots or hang, sometimes X crashes.
I observed that it happens more when i watch videos, the system reboots.

My hardware:
Pentium-D AMD64 Dual core (Yes, it's pentium with amd technology)
Intel 946GZ (GMA 3000)

I can confirm that this also happens when video output is produced.

[Samuel Abels (knipknap)]

The problem persists in most recent Gutsy.

The problem also happens with the xserver-xorg-video-intel package from most recent Gutsy.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers.

Samuel, do you still have this problem?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

bug 152050 might be related to this.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Also bug 120834

[Samuel Abels (knipknap)]

I haven't seen this happening for a long time now. Looks fixed to me.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

Problem doesn't appear anymore and may have been solved by compiz and xorg updates.
