Here's a short video I recorded for the ASUS Support service. It gives a good illustration of what happens on Windows 8.1. This is also exactly what I get with the latest Ubuntu LiveCD.
In the video, I say in Russian: "Now I'm plugging in the AC... Rebooting the device... And it works perfectly... but only as long as AC is plugged in. So it goes, guys. Now I'm unplugging AC and this crap will start all over again" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IP3h3x4CoU Things are "much better" with SSD-intalled Kubuntu or Lubuntu, with them this only starts if I get a shutdown at the moment when CPU gets throttled down to 800 Mhz at 20% battery and only then does CMOS become scrambled to the point when further shutdowns start coming in dozens in a totally random fashion until I do a hard CMOS reset. P.S. I'm currently studying the ACPI Source Language (it has a thousand pages long manual) but I don't think that a Bachelor of Arts like me will tackle this issue any time soon. The latest official BIOS comes with a DSDT table that doesn't compile back after being decompiled, it gives me about 120 warnings about possible infinite loops, unserialized methods where a serialized method is expected, and such like things... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446027 Title: SNA acceleration causes sudden shutdowns and corrupts CMOS data on the the Asus UX21E ultrabook on a wide variety of kernels since at least Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1446027/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
