Unfortunately it looks like you pointed me at the wrong BIOS update
version. Based on the MSN number on the back of my PC (10011367) I
should have flashed it with the one at
http://www.medion.com/gb/service/_lightbox/treiber_details.php?did=8289.
My fault for not double-checking your recommendation I guess.  Still
trying to recover the machine:(.

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 system with Radeon HD 6330M hangs regularly, especially
  when using Google Chrome

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm reporting this bug at the request of kbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx at
  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357#c34 .
  Please see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357
  for details.  The appropriate package for this bug might be xserver-
  xorg-video-ati but that's a guess.

  Summary:
  Using Google Chrome 36+ on an ubuntu 14.04 system with  an AMD Radeon HD 6330M graphics card has been regularly causing system hangs.  These appear to be particularly likely when playing Flash-based games such as those on Facebook.  Scroll up and down using the vertical scrollbar or the mousewheel and chrome will segfault.

  WORKAROUND: Use fglrx.
