I ran in to a problem that involved an unresponsive screen a few months ago
and also had a FIFO underrun.  I think your problem is somewhere in the
intel graphics stack.  Here's the bug I had:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1339855
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96284

I was able to determine the system wasn't frozen because I made a unit file
that ran a bash script that saved a file on shut down and then pressed my
power button.  Systemd ran the script and I was able to see the file had
been updated.  The fact that it was able to shutdown without me forcing it
was also a good sign that this was the case.

Some info about reporting these bugs is here:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs

If you want to try some drivers that are close to the developer version
upstream you can try my copr repo:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bollocks/intelblood/packages/

It hasn't been updated in a month.  I'm going to get on that today.  I try
for once a week but since I no longer have any bugs I don't run it on my
machine and so I forget easily. Note that running these is probably crazy
experimental and the package maintainer(me) is far from an expert.
