Any video does this. Also, full-screen skype calls freeze the computer as well. The same for youtube videos played in HTML5. I don't know how to get the i915_error_stat if the system is frozen...
As for the mplayer configuration, now I'm using only defaults in Smplayer or GNOME Mplayer and it still freezes ("xv" video output"). So to replicate it, all I have to do is start playing a video with a mplayer-based video player in full-screen, that's all.
