My system randomly freezes and reboots. Also it is true if try to boot ubuntu from flash drive and I tried to use different ubuntu versions like 14 or 16.10, currently using 16.04. Looks like a hardware problem. So I installed mcelog to catch this kind of errors. For previous reboots I get:

Hello dlapin:

 

 

Thank you very much for that information.

 

 

In this case, I just wanted to let you know that the support provided by Intel® on this site is for Windows, since you mentioned the machine works fine with that operating system then the best thing to do will be to access your Linux distro's website and forums for further peers assistance at:

 

 

http://ubuntuforums.org/ http://ubuntuforums.org/

 

 

Or also you can visit this other site where you will also be able to find drivers:

Any further questions, please let me know.

 

 

Regards

 

 

Alberto
