[Stan Schymanski <946899@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, peterbo. Sorry, got confused. Of course, I'm running it on 
13.04, too. I have had these really weird crashes before (rebooting by 
itself) and they went away after one of the kernel upgrades, maybe even 
when upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04. Got the Hangcheck timer elapsed ones 
instead. That is, sometimes, when I return to my laptop, it is turned 
off even when I'm pretty sure I left it on, so maybe they have just been 
happening while idle. Now with the rc5 kernel I got the original crash 
(without error log) within hours again, so I got discouraged from trying 
any further. It's my work laptop, running dual monitors, and I really 
can't afford to experiment too much as I need it to run and do its job. 
I still can't believe that this is such a persistent bug (several 
bugs?). The Linux kernel used to be considered bomb-proof! Apparently 
its bugs, too...

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to 12.04 beta, I've seen this happen twice. The
  symptoms are:

  - The screen freezes
  - The backlight turns off

  At that point I have to reboot to get my display back. In syslog, i
  see:
