[Bug 1431772] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit edition keeps crashing on Toshiba Laptop

 

Two things I'd try:

1.  install the non-free closed proprietary driver for your video card.
For that, use Software & Updates, tab Additional Drivers;

2. apply a BIOS update (check the support section of the Toshiba website
for that).

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit edition keeps crashing on Toshiba Laptop

Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello. I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit edition on a brand new
  Toshiba c75d-b7215 laptop about 2 days ago. The laptop itself is dual-
  booting with Windows 8.1, and the Windows partition appears to look OK
  (haven't really spent that much time in it, though). I followed the
  Easy Linux Tips guide
  (https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/) for optimizing
  Ubuntu.

  However, my laptop keeps restarting itself quite randomly. For
  example, I can have about 10 tabs open on Chrome 64-bit edition, and
  LibreOffice open, and then my laptop will restart itself. I don't know
  whether or not this is a hardware issue or a Ubuntu issue. I would
  like to know soon, because I have about 10 days to decide whether or
  not I need to return this laptop and replace it with something else.
  Thank you.
