I know that I have provided too few information. I don't remember well, but maybe I started to got these problems without updating any software (though I am not 100% sure). Might it be an hardware problem of the video card?
It's possible, but more likely the problems started after changing other software components, e.g. Mesa or X (e.g. the video driver).
--- Comment #6 from Stefano Avallone stavallo@unina.it 2011-07-29 14:56:55 --- I re-booted my PC under Windows, which shows me messages like
"VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands"
and
"VPU recover was unable to fully recover from a hardware deadlock and has switched to software rendering. To restore hardware rendering you must restart your computer. Do you want to restart now?"
After re-booting, the same messages appear. If booting under Linux, the PC shuts down a few seconds (variable) after logging into KDE.
Any idea if there is a solution to this problem? Or should I simply buy a new graphics card?
Thanks.
