[sandybridge-gt2] GPU lockup render.IPEHR: 0x7b009004

[Alex Rybicki]

Occurs constantly with gnome-shell (opening of Activities menu) or any other 3D application (Wine, Steam games, etc). I experience similar symptoms with virtually any and all programs/games which use 3D graphics.
 The screen will go blank for several seconds, sometimes it will 'fix' itself, other times it will cause the game to crash, gnome-shell to crash, compiz seems to crash as well. Sometimes it will occur within 1 minute, other times it can go ok for around and hour. Logout doesn't fix, a full reboot is required. Sometimes the full system locks, and the power button/reset switch are ineffective; I have to pull power from the power supply to reset.
I am open to providing more information or any help that I can.
