Dear maintainers,

since 4.6-er series kernel the GUI and input devices hang after a few minutes of activity (for example webbrowsing). Usually I have the chance to return  to console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 (which also lags a few minutes) to shutdown the system.

The GUI is very stable with the former Debian Kernel Name: linux-image-4.5.0-2-amd64  Version: 4.5.5-1. 

The problematic kernel is for example Debian kernel Name: linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64  Version:4.6.2-2.

The kern.log catches events starting with:
[code]

Jun 26 10:30:23 amy kernel: [  253.712117] [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 8:0:0xfffffffe, in Xorg [683], reason: Ring hung, action: reset

Since the latest kernel and intel xorg driver my problems are gone under Debian/Sid. These were the version changes:

linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64:amd64 (4.6.2-2, 4.6.3-1)
xserver-xorg-video-intel:amd64 (2:2.99.917+git20160522-1, 2:2.99.917+git20160706-1)

I was the reporter of this bug.

Thank you!
