        <pre>Hardware: Intel NUC5CPYH, output via HDMI
Display: Dell 2405FPW 1920x1200 monitor, DVI input using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter
OS: Ubuntu 15.10
arch: x86_64
kernel: 4.2.0-18-generic
Ran Intel Graphics Installer 1.2.1, but my understanding is that this doesn't
actually change the driver used, correct?

Issue:
If I flick the mouse so that the pointer quickly travels from the middle to the
left edge (in the lower portion of the display), I'll sometimes (1 in 4 tries)
get the display to "flicker".  And sometimes, instead of just flickering, it
will instead turn all light grey and stay in that state.

The computer is still running - any music that was playing continues to play. 
I can still ssh into the machine and run a shell.  If I hit CTRL-ALT-F1, it
appears to switch virtual consoles, as the screen changes to all black - but no
text is displayed.

Workarounds:
Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Suspending the computer & then waking it up also fixes the problem.

dmesg:
I do not see any new dmesg being output when this flickering (or the blank
screen) occurs, but there are some suspect messages earlier in the log:
