an update is available for your BIOS (1.17 Revision A). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it
change anything?

If not, 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

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Random kernel panics return on linux-image-3.5.0-34-generic or
  3.5.0-32-generic (possibly AMD radeon HD 4200 stack related)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64-bit) on a standard business desktop PC
  (HP Compaq 6005 Pro SFF) I used to experience daily hangs with/without
  kernel panic. The panics seem GPU-related.

  I run two desktop PCs side-by-side of identical hardware.

  Installing the Quantal Hardware Enablement stack fixed the stability
  issue at last (after suffering it for several months).

  In a recent kernel upgrade, sadly a daily kernel panic has returned,
  it occurs 1-2 times daily.

  This may be kernel 3.5.0-34 or 3.5.0-32, I can't identify which one.
  Both were installed in June around the time this started.

  From the stack trace on-screen it doesn't seem to be the same crash
  and doesn't mention DRM this time but is the same in nature, i.e. I am
  doing something in the GUI and I get a kernel panic. (This has also
  happened when I am out of the office.)

  Graphics card:
  01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4200]

  I upgraded my second PC to 12.10 recently then it booted onto a black
  screen (power management), I could not get past this, so I upgraded to
  13.04 from a single-user mode root maintenance console. My second PC
  running 13.04 is now stable on this hardware.

  My 12.04 LTS PC with the latest security/critical updates is again not stable.
