LaunchpadUser, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4714#bios
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F6).
If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Change login while other user is logged in: sometimes
  crashes/freezes/hangs

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When trying to login with a user account while another user is already
  logged in, Ubuntu sometimes crashes/hanges/freezes!

  This bug exists for many years, so for many Ubuntu versions - even in
  the latest LTS versions with fresh standard installation (Unity), 64
  Bit. During the years of this bug, I had different computers
  (hardware) with different graphics cards (nVidia, AMD) different
  Ubuntus (32 Bit, 64 Bit, LTS, non-LTS). This bug bugs us for so many
  years because we have two computers (exchanged every couple of years
  with fresh Ubuntu installations) that each has multiple login accounts
  (for all family members). Every once in a while one user wants to
  login while another is already logged in. The login screen allowws to
  login while another user is logged in, so this should basically work.
  Other scenario is, the the logged in user simple loggs in to another
  user via the system menu (top right).

  The results are miscellanious: sometimes it works, sometimes, the
  graphics get distorted, sometimes, the screen just turns black
  (sometimes with a white cursopr line blinking), sometimes it freezes,
  sometimes it crashes. All in all: it's very unstable and buggy.
