Public bug reported: Screen freezes randomly. Keyboard and mouse do not work at that time. I am not able to ssh to the computer or access tty. I am able to do only a hard reset. I tried some troubleshooting myself, but with my novice expertise with ubuntu. The freeze is more or less random. But it is possibly more frequent when running a video, like a youtube video in a browser. Freeze is more frequenty when going full screen with a video, a VM machine or a remote desktop through vnc4server. 1. Tried removing some software like chrome, dropbox, virtualbox, etc. That did not help. 2. Tried reverting back to an older version of Ubuntu, like 16.04 with a 4.15 kernel. That did not help either. 3. Tried other distros like Mint and Fedora. Still had problem. 4. Tried running with NVidia driver and xserver-xorg. The problem occured with both. 5. Tried NVidia as well as Integrated Intel graphics cards. Problem occured in both. 6. Tried all the suggestions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1798961 that were applicable. None of the suggestions helped. 7. Finally tried Windows 7 and there was no problem. Tested for 12 hours and experienced no crash/freeze with youtube running.
