Fix: HP ProBook 4540 Freezing with Ubuntu 12.04

It is quite frustrating when you are in the middle of something and your laptop just freezes. I used to experience it a lot with my brand new HP ProBook 4540s running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS precise with all the latest updates and patches. I used to get the “Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error.” sort of errors all the time. Searched high and low on the internet as well as HP forums but with no luck.

The day when i upgraded to the Ubuntu 12.10 quantal, the problem has just vanished as if it was never there :) So if your Sandy Bridge based system (or any other sort of latest hardware) and you are experiencing frequent errors and freezes its suggested to updgrade to ubuntu 12.10 quantal. Seems like its has better support for new hardware, thanks to the new kernel.
