System freezes repeatedly
by bigfuzzydog from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T0E5)
Debian kernel 4.9.0-16
KDE Plasma version 5.8.6
System is an HP Elitebook 8770w, 24gb ram
When I try to put the computer to sleep, there is at least a 50% chance that it won't go to sleep, but instead freeze up (and then will be quite hot when I return), requiring a hard reboot. That reboot then also has a 50+% chance of freezing, sometimes right after I enter my password, other times waiting until it's looking like the windows are going to come back up.
Other times if it goes to sleep properly, I try to come back from sleep mode, and again, it often lets me put my password in but freezes shortly afterwards.
The machine does not generally freeze up apart from those times.
Any hints?
