screenshot of visual glitches on the HDMI-connected montor

Here is a screenshot of visual glitches on waking the screens (pressing the esc
key).

This seems to be accompanied by

[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO
underrun

in dmesg.

There also seems to be general instability with a dual monitor set-up. We have
4 computers with identical hardware, except one is only hooked up with single
monitor (VGA port) for a while. Have had screen-lock ups every few days on all
dual-monitor set-ups.
