On stock 3.6.5 at boot+403586.244s, I hit this: [drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /debug/dri/0/i915_error_state At boot+403596.318s, I see in Xorg.0.log: [mi] Increasing EQ size to 512 to prevent dropped events. [mi] EQ processing has resumed after 269 dropped events. [mi] This may be caused my a misbehaving driver monopolizing the server's resources. (WW) intel(0): I830DRI2GetMSC:1361 get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument This was preceded a while before by: (EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.

Hardware is SNB; just in GNOME3 UI with terminals, text editors, PDFs, mail and firefox. Full logs are at: http://quora.org/2012/i915/i915_error_state http://quora.org/2012/i915/dmesg http://quora.org/2012/i915/Xorg.0.log Box is still booted, but X restarted in case further detail in /sys/kernel/debug/i915 is useful...
