Suffering occasional system freezes

[ian_r_h]

Thanks again.

Also, is there any way I can avoid this problem during the actual build process as well?  For example, when upgrading to v3.8 I plan to build from fresh, rather than update from v3.6.  And I'm shortly to receive a new laptop which I plan to put LL on and would like to get the build right from the outset.

I guess this would be useful to anyone else who installs by following the prompts and opts to encrypt the hard disk.  (For example, family and friends which are expressing an interest in moving from Windows to LL!)

And if it is any help in this instance, the fdisk -l command returns as below:-
