I added the module to the blacklist, but I got the same crash a bit later, and was still getting those messages in dmesg. I booted onto Windows, and flashed my BIOS, awaiting results of that. The BUG message that I saw during boot and that was in the dmesg: [ 49.521295] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC is now gone. So perhaps, for me, that solved the problem IAW the link you sent me to earlier. If you are interested, I have attached my new dmesg to this reply.
Thank you for the help. ** Attachment added: "Eric Haslehurst's new dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9099040/dmesg.log -- APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) followeb by CAPS LOCK LED STARTS BLINKING AND THE NOTEBOOK CRASH https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
