hybrid - Crashes on BayTrail device - Ask Ubuntu

shortly after trading tablet toshiba satellite click 2 (hybrid touchscreen laptop) installed linux. found out there bug in kernel results in linux intermittently crashing on baytrail integrated graphics devices. make sure wasnt installation problem tried out different ubuntu desktop environments distros , other linux distros manjaro. same problem. installed android x86 , same problem occurs. running fine , shuts off without warning if battery yanked device or power plug pulled. dead. have boot up. installed windows 10 , doesnt crash sure bug. googled , found "intel_idle.max_cstate=1" kernel boot flag. boot flag "intel_pstate=disable".

i applied these boot flags both grub menu @ boot , in /etc/default/grub file. still random crashes. not isolated action or application either. way fix this?

any appreciated thanks!

i read link zanna provided in comments there else should at: bay trail freezing. there on 500 messages here bay trail users (plus few other intel cpus).

the messages start in december 2015 scroll down 3rd end (as of october 24, 2016) , see post:

justin 2016-10-22 21:58:34 utc 1 week far no crashes.  4.8.0-rc8-amd64  options  grub_cmdline_linux_default=intel_idle.max_cstate=5  in rc.local script run @ boot...   -----   #!/bin/bash echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/disable echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo   

i've read hundreds of these posts , users can report "success" 1 day , report "failed again!" few days later. above author recommends kernel version 4.8.0-rc8 recommend using stable kernel version 4.8.4 instead. summary doing is:

cd /tmp wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.4/linux-headers-4.8.4-040804_4.8.4-040804.201610220733_all.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.4/linux-headers-4.8.4-040804-generic_4.8.4-040804.201610220733_amd64.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.4/linux-image-4.8.4-040804-generic_4.8.4-040804.201610220733_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i *.deb sudo reboot 

note: version 4.8.4 current stable kernel of october 24, 2016.

from today's bug mail following solution proposed:

thorsten: try commands below, , report back. these eliminate hang ups on n2930 kernel 4.7 (gentoo).  first start kernel with: intel_idle.max_cstate=0  give these commands root:  echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/disable echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpuidle/state3/disable echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/cpuidle/state3/disable echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpuidle/state3/disable
