dmesg output

Since installing Plasma 5, I'm getting a lot of lockups even with compositing disabled.  As far as I can tell, the relevant part of dmesg is

In this case vlc triggered it, but often it's some other process like Xorg.bin.  Interestingly the machine was usable for a few minutes after this but then locked up.  The display froze and ssh would prompt for a password but hang before the shell started.  Rebooting with magic SysRq worked.

dmesg output attached.  Let me know what else I can do to collect debugging information.

Hardware is
