Tyson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P67AGD55.html#down-bios an update to
your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (4.3). 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 Nouveau DRM freeze

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The computer randomly locks up.  I switched to nouveau because NVIDIA
  tested driver caused artifacts with SLI enabled.  But nouveau doesn't
  seem to support SLI and locks up randomly.  See attached screenshot
  about DRM GPU lockup.
