You claimed this was RC due to "data loss", but that depends on having
a reasonable expectation that the data was persistent.  As you only
described a crash/hang, and not corruption of persistent storage, you
did not justify the RC status.

You said "All PCs do have got the same GPU", so it sounds like this
does not affect a very large range of systems.  But if this is a very
common GPU then this could be RC.
