Hi. the output of the commands
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date is: M74 Ver. 01.09 01/26/2015 What was I doing? **************** I was working on Caligra Flow to create a flow chart. Backintime was running a backup of my home directory on an external 1 TB Seagate storage drive (USB) connected to my laptop via a 4-port USB hub. I was moving the mouse to position an object on the flow chart when the black screen of death occurred again. Please let me know what other information I need to provide. -- 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/1443764 Title: Black screen of death: system suddenly stopped working soon after upgrade to kernel 3.16.0.34-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I update the kernel images from update-manager this morning on my Ubuntu 14.10 system running on my laptop. I had started backintime-gnome to take a backup of my home directory on an external seagate drive connected to a 4 port USB hub. This is something I do almost daily I was editing a desktop shortcut on nano when suddenly I saw a black screen with a lot of dumps and messages from the kernel (or what seemed like the kernel). The screen was frozen - no mouse movement or keyboard movement would restore it. I had to force a restart using the power button. This is the first time I have encountered something like this.
