Thank you Christopher. I updated my BIOS. The output to
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date is 1002 09/27/2013 I will run my backup script a few times to see if the freezing still happens. If it does, I will also try testing the latest upstream kernel again. Perhaps, with the new BIOS, it will boot this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387420 Title: System freezes when performing a backup bash script Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I attached the bash script I use for performing backup. When performing backup, I connect my external hard drive and a flash drive, open a terminal window, and execute the script. Half the time it works without a problem; the other half, the system freezes and I need to restart the computer - but the backup still performs correctly; the freezing seems to happen immediately when it's done.
