So i'm getting quite desperate here.

I bought a brand new T460P. I then tried to install Ubuntu on it(15.10, 16.04, 16.10) and also debian. My problem is that it freezes seemingly random. It's a hard freeze meaning only a hard reset can fix it. Sometimes there goes a couple of hours and other times it's just minutes. It also happens during the boot sequence(when loading ubuntu). I haven't run anything else such as windows on it so i don't know how that reacts.

Specs:

  • Intel HD 530
  • Intel Core I5 6300HQ
  • 8GB Ram
  • 8260 AC Wireless Dual Band

I've had somewhat success with reproducing the crash by transferring a large file through netcat. It only takes a few seconds to crash. Using:

nc -l -p 1234 > out.file

But if it were network related it wouldn't be crashing during boot would it?

I have used all the built in tools to test for hardware defects and also updated the bios, intel-microcodes, i915 drivers. I have also tried just around every kernel(4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8) with no luck.

I would post some logs but i really can't find anything related to the crash. If you need any logs or anything just reply and i'll post.

  • The output of iotop command can help you to fix this problem. But it seems that it's a problem with your HDD. if you have an HDD I recommend you to replace it with a new SSD. – Numb95 Dec 07 '16 at 10:38
  • Sorry forgot to put it in the original post. It is an Samsung SSD – Kenneth Dec 07 '16 at 11:15
  • So would you please send the output of iotop ? – Numb95 Dec 07 '16 at 11:28
  • I will send later today when i get back to my personal computer. Should i do something while running iotop or just idle ? – Kenneth Dec 07 '16 at 11:50
  • I think it's better to send it in both idle and when you use netcat – Numb95 Dec 07 '16 at 11:51
