This problem seems to be related to unity and xorg/noveau - even with the current kernel updates the problem occurs frequently.

Any audio is running about ten minutes longer before the machine either reboots or Xorg is reloaded. Happens daily since updating to 14.04. I cannot change to different terminals to manually reload Xorg, the machine is blocked once the screen freezes.
