Also, can you run one additional test, which involves disabling RC6?
To disable RC6, do the following:
Hold down Left-Shift key to enter the Grub menu on boot
Hit 'e' to edit the kernel command line
Append i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 as a kernel boot parameter
For example: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-17-generic <...> quiet splash vt.handoff=7 i915.i915_enable_rc6=0
Press Ctrl-x to boot
It would be great if you could test this and report back if your issue is resolved with RC6 disabled.
