Hello and thank you for the warm welcome.
I wish I had thought of the ping idea, and even more so, I wish I were able to ping the machine but no response when it is in that state. The fans are still running though.
I`ll post a log of Xorg once I am able to connect to the web with this machine. I do not get any (EE) errors. I did, once, see an (EE) error that pointed towards something along the lines of wscons or no default output for wscons. I can however confirm that xrandr is not too happy either since I get a "failed to get size of gamma for output failed" message when I run xrandr. I am not sure if its related.
