Bug Description

When Compiz is enabled in gutsy, the system will regularly freeze when performing some desktop effect.

Just before freeze, this is seen in the logs:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a1 on CPU 0

This has also appeared, but not as common:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 80 on CPU 0

Sound just like these bugs:

The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release will be coming out soon. It will have an updated version of the kernel. It would be great if you could test with this new release and verify if this issue still exists. I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is available. Thanks!
