@Pieroxy - have you tried the proprietary AMD drivers instead? I'm fed up with system hangs too, so if the proprietary drivers don't work better I may even go back to ubuntu 12.04 where I didn't have these problems. Too early to judge the proprietary driver though; I've only just switched from

@Pieroxy - Sorry to hear that because I've had no system hangs since I switched to the proprietary AMD drivers 5 days ago. Maybe you could buy a newer graphics card; they don't cost that much if a low-powered one is sufficient for your needs. (Unless you were referring to your motherboard...)

@carlodoro88: There already is a bug raised against chromium - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357 . In fact I was asked by the chromium people to raise this bug! There appears to be a strange interaction between the open-source drivers for AMD cards and Xorg (the version

Unfortunately the motherboard was trashed by the incorrect BIOS update. After 2 weeks and quite a bit of money I now have a new system - but using a different motherboard and a different graphics card (Nvidia this time). The guy who fixed the system thought the previous AMD card was broken,

OK, I've cleared the CMOS data by setting the appropriate jumper on the motherboard. I've also taken out the CMOS battery for a while. But I still can't boot the PC - I still see nothing on the screen. I've also burnt a CD with SystemRescueCD on it. I can put it in the PC's drive but it won't

Hi Christopher - thanks for following this up. As the machine was a dual boot with Windows Vista (32 bit) I rebooted the machine into Windows to perform the BIOS upgrade. I ran the .exe file you pointed me at, then ran the 32-bit version of flash.bat from a DOS prompt. The old BIOS was erased

Unfortunately it looks like you pointed me at the wrong BIOS update version. Based on the MSN number on the back of my PC (10011367) I should have flashed it with the one at http://www.medion.com/gb/service/_lightbox/treiber_details.php?did=8289. My fault for not double-checking your
