At approximately 7:20pm, 19 March 2015 I noticed that again all I saw on my monitor was a black screen with the mouse cursor that was movable. I did a CTRL>ALT>F1 and left the room and came back about 5 minutes later when I was able to log-in and run 'sudo reboot'. This time I ensured that I did a message body check on the hourly syslog snippets for 'hangcheck' and there was none associated with this lockup. Now I do have another question associated with my comment #53. Since what I've shown in that comment is in being written to my syslog it is now over 32mb in size and that is only for today. Is this another bug I need to report in association with the 4.0 kernel since it didn't start happening until I started running it or what? I checked earlier today for an rc5 but didn't see one.

I can't remember what kernel version was in use then possibly kernel 3.13.0-35-generic or -36. It has continued periodically through versions -39; -40 and now to -43. The last time this has happened was today Dec 13 14:40:57 localhost kernel: [154858.820009] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... render ring idle. At times when it locks up I will have a cursor on a black screen and will have to press the power button to restart other times it will lockup whenever I'm in an application such as Firefox or Evolution. At that time I can usually CTRL>ALT-F1 log in and run 'sudo reboot' to restart the system.
