  • Thank you all who contributed.

    I was hoping for some log that could maybe save some info when in a hurry, sensing an eminent crash or an emergency, but that doesn’t really make sense, does it? - If it crashes, it crashes. There’s probably no time to dump anything to disk. Otherwise the crash would have been prevented.

    Anyway, some paths have been opened for when I have time to dig in a little bit deeper.

    I’ll quickly find something else to annoy you ASAP. ;-)




  • Only when it’s idle for a while? That would point to power saving or suspend. You could try changing those to see if it affects the situation.

    That’s my feeling as well. It’s set to suspend after 20mn and the power button in set to suspend, so maybe if I try to suspend and wake back up several times, one of the times it will fail… God! I am really not in the mood for that!.. Let’s see…

    But yes, hardware. And I would suspect the display controller in particular. I’ve seen many that glitch when in power saving.

    Hum!..

    Also, have you checked for bios updates?

    I updated the bios on an asus PN40 before and bricked it, so… didn’t try in this one. It’s my workhorse. :-|
