I have been seeing this similar issue for some time but hadn't gotten to
looking into it. My system was also running with the subject driver:
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1.2
amd64X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
My graphics card:
For the help of other users, I just want to mention that in Ubuntu
17.04, I ended up switching back to stable xorg and *removing* xserver-
xorg-video-intel, as suggested in some online documentation, in order to
force the modesetting driver to run. I'd see modesetting and glamoregl
modules loading
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

@chipaca Thanks for the suggestion. Interesting. I see a reddit thread
about this here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_ditch_xf86videointel/
I might try that suggestion again. Reading the Intel Graphics wiki page
from Arch Linux has the following
The package description of xserver-xorg-video-intel says,
The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca.
2007 and newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the
server use it's builtin modesetting driver instead.
did you try removing the package entirely?

Also, a couple of days later, I experienced another full system hang. I
was using GPU-accelerated Chrome at the time, but it was when a new page
was loading. So, the newer PPA may not have totally corrected this
issue, perhaps it just moved it around somehow.
