Comment 2 for bug 106930

My roommate is having the same problem, and it has repeated multiple times. Seemingly at random times while working with Audacity on Fiesty on his new computer, it will crash, hard. Not just Audacity, but the whole system. He has to hard reboot to be able to do anything. It's only when working with Audacity and occasionally other audio apps are unstable, but not in the same way. I think there are problems in the audio parts of the Fiesty kernel that affect people with newer hardware.
