That is rather fascinating. I will look into this more. Did you or do you have any means to compare performance between the full built-in kernel and a minimal built-in kernel?

[QUOTE=enorbet;5863270]I am a thermal nutcase and those temps sound quite admirable for a laptop to me. As for the "hard lockup" while it is certainly possible that could've been caused by a borked iso download (assuming you don't always run a checksum) but combined with other fairly uncommon problems I wouldn't be able to let it go. I'd have to check but your trust in New may well be justified. That it ran Windows isn't actually impressive as MS works hard to have a workable OpSys "one size fits all" so it will commonly run on some really crap hardware that higher performance systems will reject. However that you have run some heavy Benchmarks gives me some confidence as well that your hardware may be fine. I'll keep looking in from time to time to see your progress and wish you Good Fortune.

Good for your sharing, that's really a good value. Yes, I will find time to re-burn the Ubuntu CD and also do a verify after download. I will report back here! Nice to meet you.

Just FTR it might be more informative to check (MD5 or whatever Ubuntu uses now) the iso from which you made the CD/DVD that gave the error. If it doesn't pass that test we have a likely answer.
