It's great to see you keep trying this. For clarity, do you consider this the same bug as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 - and is intel_idle.max_cstate=1 working properly for you on a newer kernel?
This problem is horrific in that the CPU / Motherboard watchdog isn't catching it. I've let systems sit there frozen for 20 minutes. A properly designed system would say something like "NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575467 Title: [Dell Inspiron 3451] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1297 at /build/linux-lts- utopic-vy2yyy/linux-lts- utopic-3.16.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1743 vlv_wait_port_ready+0x126/0x170 [i915]() Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: After upgrading from stock Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 my laptop consistently freezes up and is unresponsive to keyboard or mouse. The only way is to do a hard shutdown. I'm usually in a browser when this happens, and often watching a video or two. It seems to happen more often in Google Chrome than Firefox, but it happens with both. It has happened at least once with no videos loaded. I haven’t observed it freeze / hang when I’m not in a browser, but that's mainly what i use my laptop for, so that's where most of my time is spent.
