No. It is happening at the GUI while doing simple things ie playing mine sweep, or using firefox. It even occurs if nothing is loaded. It is random, but i have noticed it happens more, the longer the computer is powered up. When I reboot the problem goes away. Sometimes I can spend hours on line with no problem. I let the PC set a few hours and come back and the problem starts or doesn't.

I have since removed Ubuntu from 1st ("dual boot") PC in order to test Solaris 11.

That sounds reasonable to me, but what do I know.

/sys has numerous items.

I disabled suspend and haven't experienced the problem. I'm not saying that is the cause.

I installed Solaris on the other PC that had same problem with Ubuntu and it doesn't have that issue any longer.

Thank you folks for your feed back. When I get WIFI working on Solaris, I think I'll 86 Ubuntu. I prefer Solaris's layout.
