[Bug 1555351] Re: High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot)
Cossio, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/X550LA/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is
available (509). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.
If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.
Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:
- There seem to be a lot of issues related to this:
+ Whenever an intensive application runs which consumes lots of memory or
+ hard drive i/o, Ubuntu freezes completely. It is even impossible to kill
+ the offending task. Only "solution" is then to wait for the application
+ to finish, or restart PC.

-
- In particular, according to the last link, this is a deep issue with
- Xorg and the Linux kernel.
-
- Basically the problem is this. Whenever an intensive application runs
- which consumes lots of memory or hard drive i/o, Ubuntu (maybe this is
- more general to any Linux distro, I don't know) freezes completely. It
- is even impossible to kill the offending task. Only "solution" is then
- to wait for the application to finish, or restart PC.
-
- The links above give specific examples of what to do to reproduce this
- issue.
-
- I have used Windows in the past (hate to compare, and I'm not coming
- back to it), and I know it doesn't have this issue (at least not as bad
- as Ubuntu), in the sense that the PC is always somewhat responsive, and
- you can attempt to kill the intensive application to recover the system.
- So I guess this is something that can be fixed.
+ Windows doesn't have this issue as bad as Ubuntu, in that Windows is
+ always somewhat responsive, and you can attempt to kill the intensive
+ application to recover the system.
