Could you try the following ways to see if they work for you ?

a) Shutdown the machine for a while (10s+) then start it up again.

b) Reinstall all related software packages, make sure only one copy of
libva+Intel driver in your machine. 

If not, could you file a bug to track your issue in the bugzilla ?
