Bug Description
My symptoms are similar to bug #1184451; I reported this on that thread and was advised to start a separate thread...
Following update from XUbuntu 12.04 to 13.10, I have been getting frequent graphics freezes in Minecraft, occasionally in Chrome. Sometimes the mouse moves with everything else on the screen frozen; sometimes the mouse is frozen too. Sometimes I can get to terminal with CTR-ALT-F6, sometimes not. CPU temp is typically in the range of 45C-50C (typical idle temp is 32C).
My CPU is Sandy Bridge Celeron G540, with no separate GPU; motherboard is Biostar H77MU3.
Also, I am not sure if this is related, when I boot the computer I get a message stating there is a system error detected but apport always crashes.
/var/log/kern.log contains this error:
[ 3280.805274] ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20130517/
[ 3280.805278] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.

Based on comment from another forum, I upgraded to experimental graphics drivers using Oibaf PPA. So far this has fixed the problem.
