Ubuntu 14.10 with the following hardware: Wireless: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter Graphics: ATI Radeon 280 (fglrx driver) CPU: 4690K Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Pro4 Memory: 16G Hardrive: SSD (AHCI set in BIOS)
This computer was running windows 7 for a long time without any issues, so there shouldn't be any hardware problems (I did run multiple hardware checks including Memtest).
After hours or at random time (when playing game for instance) the computer will freeze. This is a hard freeze. For instance sometimes I can't even do "Magic" SysRq trick (this might be due to frozen keyboard).
Now here is the weird part. There is NOTHING in syslog at all nor in dmesg. The log simply stops. For instance yesterday it died at 5am next log was at 11:30 am when I rebooted.
Does anybody have any suggests as to where to look further? I am suspecting that this is probably a graphic adapter issue. Primarily since nothing else is particularly unusual about my setup.
Thank you!

in the background to watch your resources. Try to log usingtop
liketop>mylog.log
in a bash script.ssh
? if it is just your graphics card it should work.
