Giordano Battilana, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please just make a comment to this.
Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed.

After I used it for few minutes (3-4 minutes) the system froze. Only the mouse was working. After about 1 minute the mouse cursor stopped responding as well, leaving me with a 100% frozen laptop. I couldn't even switch to a console (Alt + F1) and reboot gracefully. I had to do an hard reboot. The problem arises every time I start my pc, I can only use it for few minutes. The mouse cursor is always the last to freeze. WORKAROUND: Enable the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
