Comment 86 for bug 1167624

I had crashing problems for months, with uptimes as short as a few minutes but never more than a couple days. I happened to be browsing the net most times, but there wasn't any good pattern. Based on suggestions above I upgraded my kernel to: 3.10.0-031000rc6-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , and have gone almost two weeks without a single crash. The only problem with this kernel is the backlight doesn't work properly out of the box, but can be fixed with: echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness . This is annoying, but at least it no longer crashes. Does anyone know of a kernel version that works perfectly?
