Comment 49 for bug 157777

hi
i'm not sure that this is the same bug, since some say that its not hardware related.
i'm running an amd x2 64bit 4400+, nvidia 6600 gt, 2X512 MB ram, etc.... and i switched from win about 2 weeks ago. i installed kubuntu 7.10 and my computer started freezing randomly like everyone elses. i've reinstalled my gutsy numerous times, and i always run into the same problems. i'v tried using a clean install without anything else and nothing has changed. a couple of days ago i installed this kubuntu again!, but this time did it in a "text mode" ... the second option from the bootable cd..... now it works fine! since it doesn't use nvidia drivers but some vesa drivers and this is the only difference that i could find that could explain this on my pc. (even if i have restricted drivers disabled, if my computer detects the n vidia card - right now it thins its that vesa thing - it starts freezing)

its a bother that i can't use the my pc normally, but it sucks even more since i have a wide-screen monitor and i can only use 4:3 ratio resolutions!
