After purchasing some new hardware I was disappointed to find that my new machine would crash randomly every hour or so, seemingly more so while playing games. Something I was quite looking forward to doing.
Using Ubuntu 12.04 with an NVIDIA graphics card ...
Soon after turning on my desktop the internet stops working and I need to reset the modem. The suspected culprit is the modem not supporting IPv6 properly.
Current fix is to set the IPv6 settings to ignore in the connections settings.
CUDA programming requires the latest nvidia drivers. Manually installing the drivers from the nvidia website causes headaches after a kernel upgrade.
The swat-x PPA provides the latest versions of x.org drivers. These are stable drivers, not bleeding edge.
