I just had my system freeze, all 3 monitors were frozen for a few minutes, no mouse cursor or anything else moving, but sound still worked, then the monitors went black for a couple more minutes (maybe because I pressed ctrl-alt-f1 at some point, dunno), and after a while longer it all came back to normal. I'm on Kubuntu 14.10 for a week now, and never encountered this issue before. I don't know what this is about, but the syslog error is reminiscent of the ones above (on Haswell though):
