Shevek, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t550 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.10). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 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. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.10 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435070 Title: Thinkpad T550: Broadwell with Intel HD5500 powers off randomly Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 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.
