** Description changed:
+ UPDATE: The cause of this issue is not the fault of Ubuntu or the xorg-
+ server. This crash occurs when the system RAM is experiencing problems.
+ I have managed to fix this issue by readjusting one of my RAM chips.

- I have recently been having a problem with my desktop completely locking up
(no input is accepted) after a few minutes of usage. Every time I restarted my
PC, the time it took to freeze got shorter and shorter until GDM just refused
to load on startup (I couldn't even login). I Eventually got stuck on the
screen where it shows services starting with their status with the last item
being "[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager".

I started having this problem just a few days ago. Prior to these
freezing issues my installation was working perfectly, buttery smooth.
The only major thing that I did that may be causing this issue is my
Oculus Rift that I left plugged into my PC.
After leaving my PC on the services screen all night, it actually
unfroze and displayed a stack trace. Unfortunately, I don't have that
stack trace. However, I have posted the Xorg.0.log below which may be
relevant.
Since, I have been able to recover my PC from the freezing issues. After
the services screen disappeared and a stack trace displayed, I was able
to access a terminal session with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and run the command "sudo
apt purge nvidia*".
