Ubuntu 15.04 constantly freezing

Asked by Andrea

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on asus tl500 touchscreen. It freezes multiple times a day while browsing of working and it forces me to force restart the screen will freeze and nothing will work. The mouse goes from moving slowly to not moving at all. It happens most when browsing.

Have you tested the RAM using Memtest86 from Grub as a good starting point?

That doesn't show up as an option in the Grub menu nor is it accessible as a command. I tried installing it from the terminal and although it said it was added, it didn't work.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I'm running ubuntu as a dual boot. I do not face these freeze issues when running Windows.

If you run:

dpkg -l | grep -i memtest

And you get an output then it is installed. Me test has been part of the default Ubuntu install since day 1.

It's installed. I installed it last time, but it does not show up as an option in the grub menu. The only options I get is Ubuntu, Windows load or advanced options form ubuntu, but I can't seem to run memtest86 from advanced options either.

I ran the memtest via Windows, there are no memory errors. Please help! This happens multiple times a day on my Asus TP500L...

Hello again, This issue continues to happen every single day. I tried switching from Ubuntu to Mint, but the issue still exists. Every time it freezes a hard reboot is required. Any thoughts?
