Paul Smith, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://www.asus.com/Tower-PCs/CM6870/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (0708).
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, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xorg crash when using Spotify client

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ever since I upgraded from Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 to Ubuntu GNOME 15.04,
  I've had my entire desktop crash relatively quickly when using
  Spotify, if I mess around with the client much.  Just starting the
  client is no problem, and it plays songs OK, but for a while whenever
  I clicked one of my playlists it would immediately crash.  I stopped
  using the client for a while, but last week started using again and it
  was working for these simple cases.

  Today I started the client, picked a playlist, and grabbed the
  scrollbar and dragged it all the way to the top; as I was dragging my
  desktop crashed.  In my home directory I see a gnome-shell core:

  but I think this is just a symptom of the X server crashing; in my X

  So maybe an issue with the Intel display driver?
