On kernel 4.10 from the linux-hwe-edge package, I'm experiencing frequent
freezes on my surface pro 3. This starts mostly when using firefox, where first
firefox freezes (window is becoming grey). When I don't close firefox
immediately (killing it, as its window greyed out), the complete system kinda
locks up.
When I kill it, its process is still as defunct visible in the process list,
and I can't start a new instance of firefox.
When I don't kill it, the NMI watchdog BUG occurs shortly after and I
have to shut down the system via power button. It's not completely dead,
as I can still ping the device and when I'm ssh'd into it, the shell is
not completely dead. I'm having a tail -f /var/log/syslog open via ssh,
as I can't look into it anymore when the desktop environment locked up.
Here I can close the tail -f command, but can't start any new processes.
This did not happen with the linux-signed-image-generic-hwe-16.04
(4.8.0.51.22) yet.
apt-cache policy linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge: 4.10.0.20.13
lsb_release -rd: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
I attached the excerpt of /var/log/syslog.
