This video does not place any particular stress on the graphics, or at least it does not do so here. You can try glmark2 from an overlay, or something like Unigine Heaven to push your video to its processing limits. However, what you describe sounds like a graphics bug, which may occur without the graphics cores being maxed out. > I dropped the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen to bring up > the toolbar and hovered over the "memory tooltip".

Next time it happens you can boot straight back into a LiveUSB and save dmesg, syslog and Xorg.0.log from your disk, where the errors related to the crash should have been captured.
