I have determined that the issue is related to the 'i915' driver in relation to my GPU. I'm currently using intel-linux-graphics- installer_1.2.0-0intel1_amd64.deb from https://01.org/linuxgraphics with similar results (maybe a little better than the stock i915 stack in 15.04). WORKAROUND: Use kernel boot parameter: intel_idle.max_cstate=1 I have gained _significant_ improvements in reliability / stability by using parameters in the i915 module: /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf: options i915 semaphores=1 and / or /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_pstate=disable" and / or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "TearFree" "1" EndSection and / or Disable "Intel Virtualization Technologies" in the BIOS.
