Solution 1:

Have you tried this:

  • Open terminal ( Ctrl+Alt+T ) and type:

    sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
    

    You will find this line in the new opened window: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  • Change it to:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"
    
  • Save and close the window and type this in the terminal:

    sudo update-grub
    
  • Restart your system..

if above procedure doesn't work then repeat the same step but this time try to change the above mentioned line with:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force"

Note: The next line to the line mentioned above should be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" not GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"
