Hi Christopher, thank you for the detailed information and support, I dind't think it could be a bios issue. Like you said I updated my MB BIOS firmware to 1069 (last available for my MB) , the situation changed a bit : instead of static effect, the screen remains blank.
I really don't know if you can consider this the same problem or another one, anyway I'll provide you the information you asked and , for now, not mark this bug as confirmed since it could be also another issue, different from initial one, I'll wait for your approval to mark this as confirmed. Here it is the commands output : $ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 1609 01/07/2014 At your disposal if you need further information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581799 Title: radeon driver hangs : nothing else that static effect on display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1581799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
