On my Lenovo ideapad 100 which is about 2 years old, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. Everything is fine except that last week the system starts to power-off suddenly or to display a corrupted screen for about 30 seconds and then to power off.
My work-around for now is to keep the laptop connected and 100% charged as those problems only occur when it is running on battery. I supervised the CPU temperature but I didn't remarked anything suspicious. I also booted the device without opening any applications so that CPU activity is the as low as it can be (with Ubuntu booted) but the power-off occurs nevertheless.
I'm surprised because until last week the battery kept up to 4hours, so that I eliminated all tests related to a battery problem.
Any hints would be deeply appreciated!
