I know this isn't a support system for Linux Mint, but for what it's worth I put in another drive just to see if Linux Mint 15 with 3.8.0-19-generic would act the same way. Sure enough, it locked up on day 2 of usage. Considering LM15 is based on Ubuntu this really may not be definitive whatsoever, but I wanted to throw it on the table.
About two weeks ago I was running openSUSE 12.3 on this very unit and I had 0 problems whatsoever. That said, openSUSE was also based on the 3.7 kernel, not 3.8 like Ubuntu 13.04 or Linux Mint 15. I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu 13.04, run all the updates and all of that fun stuff, and then install kernel 3.9 to see if the problem persists. Despite my intention to fire up 3.9 and see what happens, part of me is wondering if the 3.8 issue traveled into 3.9 as well. To better isolate this question, is there a way I can downgrade Ubuntu 13.04's kernel version to 3.7? I can't help but to wonder if 3.8 and 3.9 are problematic that 3.7 can be used as a reference point.

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit. Lenovo E430 laptop. My laptop will lock up at random times. When it locks up, there is no mouse movement, no time change with the clock, just... nothing. The only option is to hold the power button to force it off and restart. This happens at any given time, it doesn't matter what I'm doing. There are times it happens while web browsing. The other night I fell asleep and woke up 1.5 hours later to my laptop still looking at me. I thought, it should have suspended by now. Nope, it was hard locked. The time on the clock confirmed it: 8:18 PM on the Lenovo when it was about 10:00 PM. When I've experienced it, I've never been pushing the system hard. It's always been under more light duty tasks. When this has happened I have not had a 2nd monitor plugged in. While I don't have a recent syslog (unless ubuntu-bug picked it up when I filed), I did notice one entry in my syslog that was similar each time I powered the system back up. It was the only thing that looked somewhat off. It's this line here: May 24 21:45:28 JS-UbuE430 signond[2949]: ../../../../src/signond/signondaemon.cpp 360 init Failed to SUID root. Secure storage will not be available. For what it's worth, I spoke to another user who said they were having 100% identical issues. I do believe they are on a Dell system, not a Lenovo system like I am, however our graphics card came up identical when we both ran lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) Thank you for your time.
