Comment 0 for bug 588194

Using Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit Desktop, the system suddenly and unexpectedly powers off either when booting or when resuming from suspend or hibernate. If waking from suspend, this happens after the login box appears but even before I have begun typing my password. Unfortunately, this happens only once in about 7 or 8 suspends and not everytime. This is on a Dell Vostro V13 laptop.

After powering on the system again immediately after the problem has occurred, I have checked kernel.log and /var/log/messages and found nothing out of the ordinary there.

Re-installing 10.04 did not help. To confirm that this is not a problem with the hardware itself, I have now downgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 since a week and found that the problem went away.

Since I am now on 9.10, I did not use "ubuntu-bug" to report this as I am unsure how useful the information would be on this version of Ubuntu. However, if needed, I can do an apport-collect on 9.10 if it helps.
