Hello Christopher, I updated the BIOS to the latest version, however the problem still persists though it is much less pronounced and occurs less frequently.
Here is the output from the commands: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date G751JM.206 09/15/2014 If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thank You, Chris Capobianco On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 10:06 AM, Christopher M.
