Now i think, that this problem is related to the graphic chipset / driver: I am able to switch to a tty blindly, log in there and execute command "sudo halt". So the system is still running, but the screen is "dead".

I cannot reproduce the issue if i run my system in "low graphic mode" (by introducing an error in /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

My systems graphic card: Intel GMA4500M
