In the first two weeks of owning a Broadwell T550, I have suffered about
two dozen abrupt power-offs. This has happened:

a) While resuming from suspend.
b) While in normal operation and just moving the mouse.
c) While switching from X to console by pressing ctrl-alt-F1.

There was no kernel panic, no log files, just an abrupt power-off.

In conjunction with several other HD5500 issues, I am starting to
suspect the intel video driver, and have switched to the modesetting
driver. Setting the Intel driver to use AccelMethod: none made the
system more reliable but did not eliminate crashes.

Workaround: Put the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "intel"
        Driver "modesetting"
EndSection
