Thread: Repeated hard freezes after a firmware update
hello!
i'm new forum; past few months, i've been using hand-me-down toshiba satellite laptop 2006 ubuntu 10.04 installed on it. after spending of last night trying wireless usb adapter working, managed working today after finding following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667140
apparently missing firmware , upon installation of it, wireless usb adapter started working charm. however, since update, computer experiences hard freezes after being online (on either firefox or google chrome) approximately 45 minutes after starting computer. mouse not move; keyboard not work; screen goes black if load dos prompt , mouse stays on screen, again, won't move @ , hold down power button switch off.
googled old threads in cursory fashion didn't seem find related problem; after spending ten hours yesterday trying find solution wifi adapter problem turned out head-smackingly simple, don't want half night figuring out, thought i'd go ahead , ask. hope it's not issue computer old handle.
okay, crashed 3 times in row, first 2 times after trying pull google, third time when tried go straight facebook after pulling firefox. that's not good. when did, went black dos prompt screen , cursor turned pointing hand , froze.
