I've had several video lockups since running the kernel and driver that I mentioned in comment 72. I've been trying to figure out a way to get a back trace. All I've been able to come up with so far is this from the /var/log/kern.log tied to the latest lockup:

I can't remember what kernel version was in use then possibly kernel 3.13.0-35-generic or -36. It has continued periodically through versions -39; -40 and now to -43. The last time this has happened was today Dec 13 14:40:57 localhost kernel: [154858.820009] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... render ring idle. At times when it locks up I will have a cursor on a black screen and will have to press the power button to restart other times it will lockup whenever I'm in an application such as Firefox or Evolution. At that time I can usually CTRL>ALT-F1 log in and run 'sudo reboot' to restart the system.
