I subscribed to this bug because I was seeing this hang too. It happened randomly several times, without a specific cause or way to reproduce it.
This was around December, and it happened maybe 4-5 times along a month. The GPU would hang with that error in dmesg, and everything continued to work, though very slowly. However, I must say that since then it didn't happen again for almost 2 months maybe. I use Arch Linux, which means I always update to the latest stable packages of everything, so it seems that for me it got solved at some point (or at least much harder to reproduce). This is an Ironlake / HD 2000 based Dell laptop. I did update the BIOS when I found this bug report, but it didn't solve the problem, the hang happened after updating it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041790 Title: [sandybridge-m-gt2] GPU lockup IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001 Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this crash log gets generated.
