/sys/class/drm/card0/error, syslog, lshw. {"tar xfJ freeze7.txz"}

The gui on my laptop randomly freezes, about >1 times a week.
The mouse pointer moves, but no any other response to mouse nor keyboard, at least not in ~20 seconds.
Ctrl-Alt-F3 works, I succeeded to log in, save some log and shut it down.
I noticed a "gpu crash" in syslog.
I attach the reading of /sys/class/drm/card0/error, and some other files.

I do not know whether it is relevant, but:
- I am using an external HDMI monitor (solely, i.e. the laptop's screen this time is off)
- For a while a new Xubuntu release is available, and I am clicking "Ask me Later". (Has not done the upgrade yet.)
- Applications I use: Thunderbird, xfce4-terminal, Virtualbox, Firefox, evince

Looks like stray pixel data written through a fence into a neighbouring batch. I would focus on making sure that xf86-video-intel (xserver-xorg-video-intel) and mesa are uptodate.

Please do install the latest version of the userspace drivers, and let us know if the problem persists.

freeze8.txz (tar xfJ)

Long time there were no freezings, only slight lags (delayed responses) (and some font rendering and coloring artifacts - I do not know whether relates).

Today the display (the external, HDMI) suddenly went black - the I-beam mouse cursor remaining.

Ctrl-Alt-F4 worked, I saved a bunch of logs.
"stuck on render ring", "GPU HANG: ecode 0:0x00ad6d2b".

My Xubuntu was up-to-date or at least almost. (Security updates: daily, other updates: weekly.)

Please, please do:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep xserser-xorg-video-intel
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug
$ make && sudo make install

And see if that reports an issue.

Oops,

$ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel
