[Bug 1532975] [NEW] Screen periodically goes black for a second

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.3 on a HP ProBook 430 G2/2246. It is often the
case that my screen goes black for a second and then recovers. It is my
impression that this only happens when the computer has been idle --
even for a very short time -- so I have disabled screen locking and
dimming and I have also removed the gnome-screensaver package, yet the
problem persists.

I took a look at /var/log/syslog and discovered an identical set of
error messages (dump traces, mainly) for every time this happens. I am
attaching a file with this set of messages.
