The whole GUI sometimes freezes permanently. The display shows no reactions to
any events until I reboot the computer. Logging in by SSH I can see that the OS
is at least partially working. Network traffic flows and I can read files. When
I kill processes most of them terminate, but the images of their windows remain
unchanged on the display. Some processes linger as zombies. When I run "reboot"
the SSH session ends, and I can't log in again, but the system does not reboot.
Only a hardware reset reboots the computer.
I don't have a reliable way of triggering a freeze, but it happens only when
something is changing in the GUI, often when I resize a window or open a new
window. It has never happened when I wasn't working on the local console. When
opening a new window it looks like it's not quite done drawing the window
decorations when it freezes.
The following appears in the system log:
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] stuck on render ring
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 4:0:0x00ba6937, in Xorg
[1264], reason: Engine(s) hung, action: reset
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in
the entire gfx stack, including userspace.
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] Please file a _new_ bug report on
bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI -> DRM/Intel
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to
the right component if it's not a kernel issue.
Nov 13 20:05:36 hactar kernel: [drm] The gpu crash dump is required to analyze
gpu hangs, so please always attach it.

architecture: x86-64
chipset: G35
motherboard: Asus P5E-V HDMI
display connector: HDMI
distribution: Fedora 23
The permanent GUI freezes happen with Linux 4.6 and 4.7. Today it happened with
Fedora's kernel-4.7.9-100.fc23. They do not happen with kernel-4.5.7-202.fc23.
Before Linux 4.6 the GUI would only freeze for a second or so. Then the screen
went black for a moment, and then everything worked normally again except that
the mouse pointer was invisible. To get the pointer back I had to lock and then
unlock the console. This also happened only when something was changing in the
GUI, often when I resized a window. Those symptoms began when I upgraded from
Fedora 21 to Fedora 23, and continued until the first 4.6 kernel.
Other currently installed packages:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.3-3.fc23
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-19.20151206.fc23
