I just installed from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v3.19.8-ckt19-vivid/ the following:
linux-image-3.19.8-031908ckt19-generic_3.19.8-031908ckt19.201604151431_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.19.8-031908ckt19-generic_3.19.8-031908ckt19.201604151431_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.19.8-031908ckt19_3.19.8-031908ckt19.201604151431_all.deb as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds. Then I booted using that kernel and the problem still happens. Here is what I saw in the syslog around the freezing moment (the log shows the moments up to the freeze and the reboot that I triggered afterwards by pressing the power button for 5 secs): Apr 21 10:53:04 my-ubuntu NetworkManager[1402]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IPv6 Configure Timeout) complete.

At the moment I switched back to kernel 3.19.0-51 that does not cause this problem, but the possibility that from now on all future security patches for 3.19.0 might freeze my laptop sounds very bad. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: valentinbrasov 3187 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: valentinbrasov 3187 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: valentinbrasov 3187 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-09-28 (192 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20150805) MachineType: Dell Inc.
