Xtien, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-XPOWER-AC.html#down-bios an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.7). 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:
  Xorg freeze

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My computer freezes randomly a couple of times a day. Sometimes I can log in using ssh from another computer, do a shutdown -r, but that then hangs also. 
  What I've experienced in the last hour is that the computer slowed down and stopped, I had an ssh shell window open on another cocmputer, showing "top". I noticed Xorg took up to 17% of CPU, later up to 26%. I had Eclipse open, and Android Studio, both frozen. From the other computer I stopped Eclipse, AS still frozen. Half an hour later, AS unfroze. Xorg still 16% cpu. I used ubuntu-bug from the shell window, but somehow it didn't get through in Lynx. Right now, the computer mostly unfroze. 

  I have experienced Chrome freezes. There's a bug registered for that,
  I'll add info after I hit enter, before this computer freezes again. I
  have replaced graphics card (same model), motherboard, cpu, memory.
  Orderd new power supply and new model graphics card.

  Also, I have issues typing the disk decription password, there's a bug
  report for that.
