It'll help if you identify your graphic card and driver version. For
example, what's the output of typing
glxinfo
in a terminal? Also, try running googleearth from terminal and record
any possible error messages. Run on console:
googleearch &> /tmp/googlearth_errors &
and after your freeze and reboot, take a look at the end of the file
/tmp/googleearth_errors and report it here.
Also, do you have any temperature reading from your processor? Maybe
it's overheating.
These actions may help the list identifying problems for you.
