Comment 87 for bug 1309578

I too have encountered this problem,

Hardware
AMD A6-6400K APU dual core cpu
MSI M'board - A88XM-E35 (FM2)
4gb Corsair value 1600mhz
PNY 120GB SSD

This is a bizarre bug and I have changed RAM and reseated CPU as I thought it was hardware related.

Anyhow following the advice above, I kept the mouse moving throughout the install and managed to get it
installed fine, then reboot I then updated the grub as advised above to:
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic"
then ran "sudo update-grub"
But I still have the random reboot issues?

Any other ideas? This has been a real headache to solve, I wonder how many boards have been returned as people wrongly assume this is hardware?
Is it possible to upgrade the kernel to 3.16 manually?

Thanks for all the helpful posts above,
