system may appear stable for over a month then flat-out reboot or may
reboot within days. quite unpredictable.
tried toggling rc6 for i915, downgrading xen, kernels, disabling
microcode_ctl, downgrading bios version and toggling assorted bios
options. nothing.
fan works, sensors register values within operating range, reboots
happen also when system is idle.
not a clue in logs (with default verbosity.)
in short, my trusty X220 has turned into a mysterious timebomb.
switching hardware in order to regain a solid (as in mucho uptime)
system.

to unman, could you be a little bit more specific about the rig you
mentioned which seems immune to this particular issue?
anyone else with system uptime 60+ days?

thank you

unman

did you say how much RAM you have, how long it has been installed? any
new updates / upgrades ?

is it all stock hardware SSD?

X220 is circa what year , I know thinkpads are a good fit for qubes,
but one might wonder if that means forever :)

hate me but what about backing up all your qubes and reinstalling
