I managed to make the system more unstable as I trimmed the kernel and added debugging info. The symptoms were slightly different (graphic freezes rather than flashing screen) To isolate i915, I've installed a nVidia 8600GT from my old machine. Even though I blacklisted i915, it still loads, so I've done an 'rmmod i915' to force it out. So far it all seems pretty stable - I'll leave it powered on for a few days to make sure. I'm then going to buy an ATI 5450 (cheap and passively cooled) and see how that goes. After a week of uptime, I'll switch back to the i915 driver and see what happens. If I get a hang, I'll get the i915 maintainer on board with my problem I think the lack of any kernel messages is due to a hardware conflict which hard-locks the machine. Even the reset button does not respond.
