(Get the code!)
I am wondering if a JVM can be used to more reliably trigger the bug and thus help isolate it? Hopefully someone else reading this has an opinion...
Below is my experience and the reason why I am considering this idea:
I have had what I first believed were random black screens, restarts directly after login, occasional hangups, and also one two reproducible issues...
1.) I run Google Chrome in nearly every session. I like to listen to music using the Youtube website. As time passes and I open, close, and move forward through the playsists on the site Chrome will become less and less responsive. It will occassionally crash the application too. It will usually be fixed by completely closing the application and running it again. Maybe it is a due to an issue which can be triggered through Java or JScript?
2.) My reason for the Java/JScript angle is that I discovered I cannot use Open Office - certain features in it will freeze my entire desktop session completely. This leaves the mouse able to move but nothing else works at all. The same is true for several other select applications - all of which I have removed form the machine. But one thing all the applications have in common is heavy reliance on Java/JScript.
So, perhaps the use of a JVM can help to trigger this issue reliable and thus find the actual source of the bug?
Anybody else able to confirm or refute this idea?
