[Bug 596565] [NEW] ThinkPad Edge regularly freezes when plugged into mains

[anna_vt]

Public bug reported:

I have just got a ThinkPad Edge 13 (AMD) and installed Lucid on it. I am
having problems with it just crashing - goes to a blank screen. So far
this has happened frequently when the mains power is connected, but not
when running on battery power.

This problem doesn't always happen (I have sometimes managed a full
charge without Linux crashing) but once it happens it seems to reoccur
pretty quickly after forcing a restart.  The laptop seems to be very hot
when this happens so I guess it's probably an overheating problem.

This problem hasn't occured under windows 7 (although I haven't used it
as much as Ubuntu).  The laptop also seems to run cooler under windows
and with a longer battery life.
