In most cases, the system will remain available through the network. The 
computer can be turned off via acpi power button.
However, if you do kill -KILL <XORG-PID>, after it is impossible to shut down 
the system correctly. The system continues to be available through the 
network, Xorg is activated and holds up to 100% of one of the cores CPU.

In the kernel messages appear:

Apr 26 01:30:05 test kernel: [drm:pid1107:radeon_do_wait_for_fifo] wait for 
fifo failed status : 0x8411413D 0x9C000800
Apr 26 01:30:05 test kernel: [drm:pid1107:radeon_do_release] radeon_do_cp_idle 
-16
Apr 26 01:30:05 test kernel: [drm:pid1107:radeon_do_cp_idle]
	
Reboot the system is possible only via a hardware reset.
