$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date [sudo] password for ...: A09 07/30/2015 It looks so far that the laptop freezes less frequent than before the BIOS upgrade. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552333 Title: After upgrade to 4.2 kernel Ubuntu 14.04 LTS randomly freezes completely Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am not sure whether this is related to Xorg because of following: Today it happened a few times this complete freeze. Before today never happened. Today I did a normal system update in the morning, then a ditro upgrade which just upgraded a few unimportant packages, then the first freeze happened. Later I upgraded the kernel from 3.19.0 to 4.2.0 and after that a few more freezes happened. I attached the apt log generated today and including the last update yesterday: apt_log_for_day_with_upgrade_to_kernel4.2.log. Each time this happened, before freeze I saw in the log something like: 9492 Mar 2 14:00:08 my-ubunty kernel: [ 2514.659171] [drm] HPD interrupt storm detected on connector HDMI-A-1: switching from hotplug detection to polling And once or twice I saw right after that something like: 9493 Mar 2 14:01:13 my-ubuntu compiz: pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error Then some binary content I also use disk encryption (the one from Ubuntu). Each time the freezing happened, the mouse and keyboard weer dead and the screen was frozen in whatever content was displaying at that point. So the only think I could do is to press the power button for 5 seconds. I upgraded from 3.19 kernel (linux-generic-lts-vivid) as follows: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily Thank you.
