@azwli: Would you please operate your computer for a couple days without the wireless USB mouse? That is, please remove the USB wireless receiver. Use only the built-in trackpad. If your hangs and freezes cease, then it's possible that we could make a case for USB-related issues.Comment

Actually, I have to report that my issue seems to be solved. Since the last kernel update about a week ago, I have no problems at all. I am grateful, but I know that doesn't help anyone else that might be having similar issues. I didn't want to say anything until I was sure, but that seems to be the case.Comment

I did upgrade to the new kernel, 3.13.0-35, as well. Alas, my issue still remains unsolved.Comment

I spoke too soon. I was just working with GIMP and it froze up again. I actually wonder if GIMP may be the problem as this is the first time I have used it for anything extensively all week.Comment

I do not think it is a software specific issue. It happens randomly. In my case I have experinced it while in system settins doing configuration or while playing card game Aiselriot, etc.Originally posted by azwli View PostComment

What is the chance this is a hardware issue? I am back to crashing several times a day. I have run Memory tests with no results. Could it be the HDD freezing up or the motherboard going bad? I have some other problems with the system. I have discovered that a couple of the USB ports are not functioning properly and for some reason it won't boot from a live disk any more. Should I just start looking for a new machine?Comment

In my case, I do not think it is hardware related. Because It never occurs in Windows. Also, for USB, you need to set the order of booting media in the system set-up (BIOS).Comment

The most recent description of your issue indicates the motherboard is having problems.
Multiple interfaces on it are showing signs.
If you have spare parts try another power supply to see if it helps or confirms the mb.Kubuntu 18.04 on AMDComment

The system just crashed again and this time it went to a black screen. After a minute or so I got this message:
INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/task {1} (detected by 0, t=15002 jiffies, g=484436, c=484435, q=9)
I googled it and read the kernel doc page, but I didn't really understand it. It seems like that could be caused by either hardware or software.
I am suspecting the MB also. I don't have another power supply to charge, how does that test the MB?
I am on a search for a replacement computer. Wasn't expecting the expense at this time

I looked in the system log for the exact time of the last crash and this is all that was there:
