[Bug 1363151] Re: [Gigabyte H55M-UD2H] After booting from live-cd, choosing "Try Ubuntu" and using the system for some time, the system freezes

 

Thank you Christopher for your help. I have a full Ubuntu installation
of course, but every time I show my friend how cool is Ubuntu with a
liveCd on their computers, it freezes, and kills their excitement.
That's why I want to help get it fixed.

I've updated my bios, but it didn't help.
What happened is same as always, I've rebooted to an Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS CD, in the welcome screen I've chosen "Try Ubuntu", my system booted up and everything seemed to work, but after leaving my computer for a few hours, I came back to a black screen with a freezed mouse pointer, and nothing I could do except hard rebooting my computer.

The commands you asked for:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

I don't know why you've decided it has anything to do with the bios, but this happened in every computer I've ever tried Ubuntu on, including several laptops and desktops from different manufacturers. I don't believe they all had the same bios.
If you'd like, I can try and restore this behavior on other computers, so you'll see it happens on a lot of computers from different manufacturers. What information would you want from those computers?

Thank you again
