I am not aware of any workaround and I wonder if our freezes are related or if we have individual hardware issues. But I am pretty sure I did not have theses issues before 13.10 on the same hardware.

It never happens while I am using the PC, only when I am away. It sometimes runs through a whole night, and sometimes it freezes when I leave it idle for just an hour or so. Once it froze while the screen was not blank yet, same situation. I have tried to disable power management in KDE and run without external screen and external harddisks, just on battery with nothing connected, then it also happens. The screen is usually blank, there is no reaction to either mouse or keyboard, switching to a console not possible, connection through VNC or SSD not possible. I need to hard-shutdown by long-pressing the power button. There is nothing in dmesg or syslog, it just ends and continues with the restarts. No kernel panics or something like that. Any advice on how to trace down the issue or similar experience?
