This brand new Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon came with Windows 7 preinstalled.

For dual booting purposes I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and while
configuring the system, I noticed it totally freezes at random, sometimes
after 15 minutes, sometimes after an hour.

By totally, I mean the screen freezes, the hard drive indicator doesn't
flicker anymore, magic keys such as Ctrl+Alt+F2 don't work, and System
Requests like SysRq+B(oot) do nothing.

I can find nothing suspicious in the logs, but I have to admit that I am
not sure what I am looking for.

All this, but in Windows 7 there is no problem. I am typing this from
Windows because Ubuntu crashes too much. This leads me to believe this is
probably a bug triggered by a certain hardware thingie, but I am never
going to find out what it is, am I?

Maybe your combined knowledge has an idea how to proceed. I really need to
run Ubuntu or Mint (for work), and I'd hate to sell this laptop. It's
pretty sweet.

I am also trying the folks over at Ubuntu
Forums<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081840>
.

Grtz,
