So the solution is to do this: sudo vim /etc/default/grub press insert (ins) button and add this line intel_idle.max_cstate=1 i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 to the list of options inside GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" ". Then save that file and execute sudo update-grub from terminal. Reboot and it should be fixed. it should look like this after the change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1 i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_fbc=0 i915.enable_psr=0" I additionally installed rng-tools and haveged as advised above: sudo apt install rng-tools sudo apt install haveged sudo systemctl enable haveged sudo systemctl start haveged Seems this solved issue totally. I am monitoring this with command: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep 'Resetting' No rcs0 errors. [1]: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/224240/why-is-the-intel-hd-graphics-driver-called-i915
