Crash on suspend or lid close

[Mint43]

Hello. I have this issue on my laptop, when the lid is closed (it's set on "do nothing" btw) or when it goes on suspension the panel disappears and the only thing working is the mouse cursor movement, no clicks allowed, no keystrokes working, not even Ctrl+Alt+Del or Esc, I can only force reboot through REIUB. What's wrong?

I have the same problem.
Once out of every 5 or 10 times I suspend, I can wake the laptop back up but I get a blank background. No login box.
The only way to get out of it is to hold the power button to turn the laptop off.
What is REIUB??

Hold down Ctrl+Alt+Stamp and while holding them press R E I U B in sequence, then leave the three buttons. This performs a forced reboot, but not hard as holding down the power button.

Oh great, thanks.
But what is Stamp? I have never seen that key on any keyboard

Yeah, sorry, foreign keyboard layout, it's a bit of a pain, but it was a good purchase (at the time).
Anyway it's the print button.
