Screen goes blank when rendering specific web pages

[JukeUK]

Hi,

I've just installed LL 2.2 on an HP 6910p laptop.  When I play videos on Youtube or go to Google Inbox,the webpage will become unresponsive after a while and then the screen will go blank.  The only way I know to get the screen back on is to do a hard reset.  The video card in the laptop is an Intel X3100.  I have tried disabling the screen saver but this hasn't had any effect.

Has anyone else experienced this or know how to cure the problem. I have noticed that the screen flickers occasionally so I think it may be a driver problem. I am very new to  Linux so if any logs or versions that are needed then I will need some direction of where or how to find them

Thanks.

Hello JukeUK,

I have only experience of one graphics card on Linux, see thread a few below yours. Hopefully some other members will be able to help.
To start I will try to help.

Which browser is being used when this occurs please ?
Have you tested if the same occurs when using a different browser ?

Do you have the restricted extras installed ?

Have you run/can you run Memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/  to test the memory ?

Do you have an option in the drivers for other/ open source driver ?
It may be possible to purge the Intel driver and try this and see if the same occurs.

Whilst looking around a little for you I noticed with some aspects of this Intel driver if upgrades are done on ubuntu based OS it damages the install, and the solutions found were a clean install of the OS.
Have you installed the driver and then upgraded it or the Intel supporting application?
I am not saying to do a clean install as you can try the above, and many other things first, it is so members are aware of details.

Lots to poke around and look for in there. I might start at dmesg myself.
