Adding the kernel option i915.reset=0 has brought no improvement.
I still have now several freezes once a day. (maybe more often as in the past) 
I was not able to virtual terminal (CRTL-ATL-F1) or reach the system from 
another pc remote.
The behavior was the same with kernel 3.8.2 and 3.8.3
And also now the system did no longer have the situation that it reboots 
automatically. It stays frozen.

Title:
  [ivb] System freeze after high memory usage

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have randomly system freezes on Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit since I installed my 
system on a new blank ultrabook (Wortmann Terra Mobile 1450 II) in December 
2012. 
  When the system freezes no mouse , no keyboard, no REISUB is possible. The 
screen is corrupted and did not update. The only key board functionality which 
is still possible is Fn+F9 (switch display on/off). I need to switch off the 
system hard. 

  The freeze occurs when the system runs on battery as also when it is plugged. 
When the system freeze occurs with power adapter plugged the system switches 
off when I disconnect the power adapter - even if the battery is full charged. 
  But the powermanagement in general seems to work perfect in Ubuntu 12.10. 
   
  To me it looks like the system freeze occurs often after high memory usage. 
  I can use the system with a few applications (Thunderbird / Firefox) for long 
time (several hours) without any freeze.
  But when I start java programming the probability increases that the problem 
occurs. This means: 
   I start Eclipse 4.2, MySQL and GlassFish 3.2 Server. I open a lot of browser 
windows and read and write much files to disk.
  The memory usage in this case increases from less then 1GB to more than 3GB 
(on total 8GB Ram) - I do not know if this is relevant - but maybe.
  I observe the situation for more than two months. As I use my system for work 
I have freezes one or two times a day - mostly when I have much work ;-) I 
develop JEE server business applications - so in the situation when the system 
freezes there is really no heavy graphic load. I am using Gnome Shell.
  The freeze seems to be absolutely randomly - I can not reproduce the system 
freeze. 

  I can not be sure but it seems to me that since yesterday the system
  shuts down after some seconds when it feezes. I notice this because I
  tried to login via ssh to collect the data of the file
  /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state. But as the system shuts down
  I was not able to check the content.
