Comment 2 for bug 1594046

Seems similar to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1574951
(found as first case with search for Acer alone, without mentioning distro, or the words crashes, frequently, or the machine model.

I wasnt sure which package needed to be noted so picked the ubuntu-release package.
maybe should have indicated unity or compiz or something like that.

Also did searches using Acer + freeeze,
for LTS 16.04 release -

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1528880
similar for other releases -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1511844
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/733392

and search for acer + crash
but the only one found which seemed relevant was the first one listed above -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592442

Based on this suggestion, I have added a line to the grub entry for my dual boot start menu -

(thanks to the reporter of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944 for the reference)

Will keep an eye on the system and advise if the above workaround avoids the problem.
If it does, it may suggest how the underlying cause can be found and fixed so the need for the workaround can be obviated.
