[rsoika <1137817@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I started with 12.10 and later I upgrated to 10.40.
I have also tested 12.04 32bit in the mean time (see comment #53)
I  think the kind of freezes were over all the time always the same. 
I am now running on Debian 7.1 which shows the same freeze with default kernel 3.2. 
So I updated yesterday to the kernel  from the  backports - version 3.10-0.bp0.2.

During my excursion to Debian I saw that there is a missing firmware (this was also logged under ubuntu but it did look to me that it was not a problem so I did not investigate into that. Debian complained about the missing firmeware when I try to install a kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/  , and forced me to uninstall it when I opened synaptic. 
So I was unable to install the kernels in a successful way. 

Now finally I succeeded with the backport version 3.10-0 by providing
also the package firmware-iwlwifi_0.40_all.deb

The system log looks now (for me) cleaner. I see messages like this:

I think I never saw a message like this before:

Sep 12 22:40:36 ralpus-ultrabook kernel: [    1.781881] [drm] Memory
usable by graphics device = 2048M

Also the messages like the next one are gone:

[52682.020393] CPU0: Package power limit notification (total events =
5746)


I hope this can help in any way.

So I am now waiting for the next freeze :-/

Title:
  [ivb] [WORTMANN TERRA MOBILE ULTRABOOK 1450 II] System freeze after
  high memory usage

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Wortmann Terra Mobile 1450 II:
  http://www.wortmann.de/de-de/product/aa_terra_mobile_nb/1220285/terra-mobile-ultrabook-1450-ii.aspx

  that randomly system freezes on Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit since I installed
  my system in Dec. 2012. When the system freezes no mouse , no
  keyboard, no REISUB is possible. The screen is corrupted and did not
  update. The only key board functionality which is still possible is
  Fn+F9 (switch display on/off). I need to switch off the system hard.

  The freeze occurs when the system runs on battery as also when it is plugged. When the system freeze occurs with power adapter plugged the system switches off when I disconnect the power adapter - even if the battery is full charged.
  But the powermanagement in general seems to work perfect in Ubuntu 12.10.

  To me it looks like the system freeze occurs often after high memory usage.
  I can use the system with a few applications (Thunderbird / Firefox) for long time (several hours) without any freeze.
  But when I start java programming the probability increases that the problem occurs. This means:
   I start Eclipse 4.2, MySQL and GlassFish 3.2 Server. I open a lot of browser windows and read and write much files to disk.
  The memory usage in this case increases from less then 1GB to more than 3GB (on total 8GB Ram) - I do not know if this is relevant - but maybe.
  I observe the situation for more than two months. As I use my system for work I have freezes one or two times a day - mostly when I have much work ;-) I develop JEE server business applications - so in the situation when the system freezes there is really no heavy graphic load. I am using Gnome Shell.
  The freeze seems to be absolutely randomly - I can not reproduce the system freeze.

  I can not be sure but it seems to me that since yesterday the system shuts down after some seconds when it feezes. I notice this because I tried to login via ssh to collect the data of the file /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state. But as the system shuts down I was not able to check the content.
