I have a Dell XPS (9360) running Ubuntu 16.04. About a year ago, it started black screening periodically and showing:

blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 116437120
EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_find_entry:1456: inode #340837
EXT4-fs error (sda3): previous I/O error to superblock detected

black screen boot messages

Often, I will be using Chrome and a page will fail to load, then the entire OS freezes,then I have to hold down the power button to get it to restart.

UPDATE: SMART Data Window

UPDATE 2: All MemTest tests passed

BIOS version is now 2.13.0

$ sudo dmidecode -s system-version

Your SSD may be failing... or just in need to some good (over due) maintenance.

First, we need to check your filesystem, as you have inode errors, and then some...

For 18.04 or newer...

  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
  • open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
  • type sudo fdisk -l
  • identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier
    • sudo fsck -f /dev/sda3
  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors
  • type reboot

Update #1:

Go to https://www.memtest86.com/ and download/run their free memtest to test your memory. Get at least one complete pass of all the 4/4 tests to confirm good memory. This may take many hours to complete.

Update #2:

sudo dmidecode -s bios-version

Your BIOS should be version 2.13.0, released on 1/14/2020, as per https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/xps-13-9360-laptop/drivers

Update #3:

You need to update your SSD firmware. I think this will fix it.

LITEON CV3-8D128-11 SATA 128GB, S/N:TW0WVD60LOH006BP051C, WWN:5-002303-100c7f300, FW:T87110D, 128 GB

Go here to get the latest version...
