Default Linux Mint freezes

Hi

I'm running Linux Mint on a Lenovo T60. And it freezes like once or twice a day. Then I have to power off the computer and restart.

I have no idea what to do, hope you can help me.

The same thing happened to me when I first got Ubuntu (and earlier today when I installed Slackware). It was because I didn't install my video card driver. What video card do you have?

I have a ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400.

The proprietary driver is in use. I'm now installing drivers trough EnvyNG, could that help if the drivers is the problem.

Have had no problems with previously Ubuntu installations...

Hmm... I'm not sure. The freezing stopped when I enabled the proprietary driver, so maybe the video card isn't the problem.
