I „fixed“ the crashes for a little while with changing to the open
source radeon driver. It ran almost perfectly however with all the
artifacts and undrawn shadows it was unplayable.

A few days later I cobbled together a fix.

Xorg.conf

grub.conf

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset vga=795
iommu=noaperture"

And this worked for a few hours until it hung again. I have already also
done a memory test and a hard disk test. (Using „memtest“ and „MHDD“
respectively) Everything seems to be in order but my box still locks up.
