But last night was a doozy. It was running very hot - it had a 3d game & firefox open and both seemed to be causing more load than usual. It had already had one sulk about freezing programmes due to a lack of resources, and then I had some display corruption -- based around windows not scanlines, so I'm guessing drivers not hardware. Soon after that it suddenly threw up the pick-a-user screen I logged back in and tried to start firefox but it wouldn't as it was already running. Creepiest of all, I heard the facebook new-message sound effect as someone messaged me. Firefox was still running but I had no way to get back to it. I killed it from the command line and then could start firefox and then I tried to return to what I had been doing, but two more incidents of throwing me back to the "pick a user" screen and I gave up and did a hard reset.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I've also had issues around the WIFI being a big flaky, and this was fixed by resetting the NVRAM.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The crashses, by the way, are full lock ups with the mouse still moving, not the oldschool darkend screen and message in the middle.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>-- </span><br><span>Christopher Gutteridge -- <a href="http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/cjg">http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/cjg</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>University of Southampton Open Data Service: <a href="http://data.southampton.ac.uk/">http://data.southampton.ac.uk/</a></span><br><span>You should read our Web & Data Innovation blog: <a href="http://blogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/webteam/">http://blogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/webteam/</a></span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
