Ubuntu Freezing on Dell Precision M4700 Laptop

Hello,

I'm having trouble with apparent system freezing on Dell Precision M4700. When this occurs, the laptop monitor either freezes or turns black and does not respond to any input. I must power down the computer and reboot. This occurs intermitently and during different tasks and/or when the computer is in sleep mode.

I followed the "Graphics Troubleshooting Procedure" listed at the following link:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicsTroubleshootingProcedure

Here is the Terminal output I received:

sapepper03@sapepper03-Precision-M4700:~$

I have updated the BIOS and run diagnostics. Most recently all diagnostics showed as PASSED, but on two other occasions previously i received the following error:

Fail PSA V4236 Error 2000:0332. Video memory - Video memory integrity test discrepancy.

I very much appreciat your help and advice. I am a new user and may require some explanation in "layman's terms."

Thank you,

Jonathan M.
