Comment 112 for bug 101943

I was pretty much new to this as well- mostly Ubuntu works wonders - but
this particular screen-saver killed my computer, needing many reboots. I
think now they have removed it (it wasn't great by the way). If you
have it on the system - just remove it. I have a link somewhere which I
will forward on - abit too busy tonight - but I hope this helps!

It seems to be the same as yours here, except it happens with any screensaver and on my ati card. It just locks up. I can move the mouse cusor but that's about it, I can't click on anything as nothing happens and after a while even the mouse locks up. I'll disabled the screensaver on System->Prefrences->Screensaver and I'll leave it over night to see will it happen now, and I'll repost. I did what Tormod Volden said and got:
