  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  While I was using my computer, doing perfectly normal things, such as
  reading news articles in Firefox, my graphics card's fan suddenly
  completely stopped, causing the GPU to overheat. At first I thought that
  the fan was slowing down because there wasn't anything particularly GPU
  intensive going on, and system load was below normal, however, like 10
  minutes after, the screen turned completely black, and the computer
  locked up. This almost certainly because the GPU overheated. The first
  thing I did was tried Alt-SysRq-K to reboot the X server. That did
  nothing, so I tried Alt-SysRq-REISUB, and the system did NOT reboot. I'm
  assuming there may have been a kernel panic. Therefore, I held in the
  power button on my computer until it turned off. Shortly after that, I
  hit the power button again to turn the computer back on, but immediately
  after pressing the power button, the system fans started spinning at
  maximum speed for a split second and the system immediately shut off. No
  BIOS POST information was displayed on the screen or anything. So, I
  assumed the system shut off because it overheated and it was trying to
  protect the hardware. I let it sit for a couple of minutes, and then I
  managed to get it to turn on. Something worth noting here is that the
  GPU fan worked perfectly fine after a full system reboot, making me
  believe this is some sort of driver problem. The first time I tried to
  boot it, Ubuntu froze before being able to load the splash screen, so I
  assumed it may either be because the GPU was still overheated and not
  working properly, or some file system corruption. I tried Alt-SysRq-B to
  reboot it, but surprisingly that did nothing, so I turned it off with
  the power button again. I then booted into recovery mode, and
  thankfully, I managed to get to the recovery options. I then proceeded
  to run the options "dpkg, clean, and resume", but when it finished
  loading services, I was in a text mode login instead of GDM, so I
  rebooted using Alt-SysRq-REISUB. I then booted Ubuntu with the normal
  boot method, and after running a quick fsck, I was able to login and
  post this bug report on the same computer.
