Comment 5 for bug 159594

I read all of those comments, but none of them seemed to apply to this problem on a Sharp notebook (PC-WA70L). However, it hasn't happened recently, so maybe it was repaired in some of the recent patches. It was never very common, though the last few times I saw it, it seemed slightly different. The machine was still completely dead and had to be powered down, but the early times the final image was a completely white screen, while the last few times it was a white screen with black pinstripes.

After the first pinstripe display, I switched to the non-restricted video driver, but that didn't help, and it crashed a couple more times after that, still with the pinstripe display. I was hoping to get some guidance about where to search in the logs for revealing information, but I couldn't find any on my own at the time, and it's almost surely too late now, unless the logs go back a long ways and you can tell me about something very specific to look for.

Hopefully that problem has gone away. It was the most serious new glitch of Gutsy. There are still some other glitches here, but stuff I can live with, though overall the Gutsy experience has been another small step down...
