Public bug reported: These GPU hangs seem to occur when using firefox along with other applications. Although it is not reproducible, or at least, I have not been able to find a recipe for introducing it.
In this case, the GPU recovered. In many cases it does not. The relevant lines from the syslog seem to be: [drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung [100824.307518] [drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /debug/dri/0/i915_error_state I have attached the i915 error state.
