Hi everybody, I got the hardware back from the HP support. The support confirmed that there has been a hardware bug in the motherboard of the system.
The motherboard has been exchanged. I have now installed Fedora-19-Mate and everything works ok. Hence this is most probably not been a Ubuntu or Linux bug. This bug can be closed. By the way: The support by HP has been very helpful allthough the bug appeared in Linux and this is offically not supported Thanks for everybody for the support!!! ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Summary changed: - 1002:6779 xorg hangs randomly with Radeon HD 7450A + 1002:6779 xorg hangs randomly with Radeon HD 7450A [solved, root cause has been hardware bug] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178846 Title: 1002:6779 xorg hangs randomly with Radeon HD 7450A [solved, root cause has been hardware bug] Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xorg” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Bug: Random freezes of xorg on freshly installed ubuntu 13.10. There does not seem any pattern when this happens. Usually takes 10-20min. There is no application running that requires special graphic ressources. Requires hard reboot. Mouse and keyboard hang. <ctrl> + <alt> + F1 does not work. Interesting is that this happens also with ubuntu 12.10, ubuntu 12.04.02 LTS and fedora 18.

I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xservers-xorg" to reconfigure the Xserver but this did not bring any change. 2. This sound like Bug #1077616 but I have a Radeon and not a Nvidia card.
