tuxator, as per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-
page.aspx?pid=4001#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated
BIOS is available (FE). 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, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Radeon driver freezes GPU (reproducible)

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  System:
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:	15.04

  Package:
   apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeon
  xserver-xorg-video-radeon:
    Installiert:           1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2
    Installationskandidat: 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2
    Versionstabelle:
   *** 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2 0
          500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  GPU: Radeon HD 5870

  I upraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 (x64) three days ago. After the
  upgrade I was not able to play a specific game (Star Conflict) with
  the open-source radeon drivers. (It does work with fglrx, very low
  FPS, but it does work)

  The game did work on Ubuntu 14.10 hours before I upgraded, so a game
  bug or hardware bug can be excluded in my opinion.

  Steps to reproduce:
   1. On a computer that uses the open-source radeon driver, start Star Conflict.
   2. log-in and start a custom game against bots
   3. start the match
   4. wait until the countdown is completed and you are launched

  Expected result: I can fly around and shoot at those bots
  Reality check: X freezes, I get a garbled up screen for a second and then the image I had before. I can still move my mouse, but nothing reacts. I can change to tty1 and kill the X server/gdm and restart it but it just shows me the exact same image I saw before.

  Game logs are clean. dmesg/kern.log shows this
  [quote]
  [drm:r600_ib_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait failed (-35).
  [drm:radeon_ib_ring_tests [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: failed testing IB on GFX ring (-35).
  [/quote]

  I checked any log file I could find/think of, but kern.log is the only
  thing that shows anything. To get back to a working system I have to
  reboot.
