Jame Krug:  i bet you must have a Dell Latitude E6410 with nVidia and
Intel Core i7 2.66GHz.  Maybe the GPU does not matter.  I spend over 3
weeks analysing the problem.  The result is evident:  it's not about
Ubuntu (in Windows, yes being desperate I installed Win7 on a different
HDD to test out, the problem is the same), it's not about Mainboard
(Dell replaced my MB), it's not about RAM  type (I tested with different
modules of different sizes), not even about HDD (i tested with SSD and
classical HDD), not about PCI peripherals (i removed all removable PCI
peripherals), not about batttery model (I tried with a different models
- 6cell and 9cell). It's most probably about the BIOS bug affecting
Latitude E6410 with Core i7 620M 2.66Ghz  (Dell replaced my CPU for the
same model with no improvement); probably a race condition during
frequency scaling (SpeedStep) on resume on batteries.  Try disabling
SpeedStep in BIOS and the problem does not appear; however it is a very
unlucky solution.  I'm trying to persuade Dell to give me a different
nearest model of Core i7 CPU, even though I should pay for the
difference in price. I expect that a different resulting CPU frequency
helps to avoid the problem. BIOS should resolve it, but who knows when
A06 comes out an if it would contain the fix.  If one follows the
history of E6400 latop overheating issues, it took one year and 10 BIOS
revisions to mitigate the problem.  I'm not sure whether the GPU is
involved in this strange race condition when resuming on batteries.
Please paste here your system specifications, especially CPU and GPU
specs.
