Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.5 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Sporadic Kernel Panic while playing videos

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Kernel panics occur sporadically in Xubuntu. The error can be
  triggered more likely by playing MP4-Videos in Firefox or VLC, but it
  also happened with the Parole player or idling. I first thought of an
  hardware issue, but memtest gave me no clue AND it also happened
  similarly inside a Oracle Virtual Box on another, completely different
  hardware. The only similarity was using 64-bit SMP (mine is AMD,
  theirs were Intel).

  Most of the time the system freezes completely, repeating the last
  half of a second of the sound that was playing over and over again. I
  also have seen a few kernel panic screens (which I am hopefully able
  to attach) with multiple kernel versions.

  If the error is pointing to the ATi graphic's driver, I also want to
  add that I am not using any proprietary drivers.

  Even though kernel panics aren't logged, I try to include everything I
  can think of. For the logs attached let me hint at the time of the
  last panic which occured at March 17th between 11:17 and 11:20 CET.
