["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hans-Christian Payer, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better.

As per
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LE_PLUS/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (0910).
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 crash

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:

  xorg randomly and quite often (once an hour) crashes back to loginscreen, when klicking on various buttons (you can never say which button).
  i already filed a bug report (#1515972) as experience the same crashes on my laptop. This started right after upgrading from ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10.  It is quite annoying because you can never say, when crashes hapen.
