Hi Guys,
Yesterday I received 2 security updates and installed/accepted them (19th July)
A short while later in the day ubuntu started restarting every so often. It appeared that the restarts were only associated with Firefox. I started using Epiphinay and the same thing happens.
I am using unbuntu Feisty 7.04 on an Acer Aspire 5050 Laptop
I have tried googling a solution but only a small handful of people are experiencing the same thing with no replies. Any help would be appreciated. If there is a roll back solution I would welcome that or anything to stop the machine from restarting.
daemon log shows:
Jul 19 09:43:38 blowfish gdm[4845]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
Jul 19 09:43:50 blowfish NetworkManager: <information>^IUpdating allowed wireless network lists.
Jul 19 09:53:31 blowfish gdm[6482]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
The kernal log shows plenty of :
Jul 19 09:25:17 blowfish kernel: [ 35.538900] hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff all the way up to Jul 19 09:25:17 blowfish kernel: [ 35.632829] hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff
I am not sure if this means anything, it is from the same log

24th July
The machine restarts whilst browsing.
The last bit of code that I can offer to anyone out there is :

Is there any way to stop the machine from restarting?
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http://
