Sorry, not sure what information is most appropriate here. GPU hangs from time to time on this laptop, typically when running firefox on graphics-intensive sites. Error log at the bottom. Distro is Debian 6.0.6 (squeeze), lspci

kernel version 3.5.2 (yes, I'll try to upgrade). Sometimes also the X-server freezes and restarts with no errors in dmesg. Is it a known problem?
Upgrading to 3.7 highly recommended, if just to get the recent pile of gpu reset fixes - those should increase the chances that the reset works and your system survives. Also worth testing is upgrading userspace gfx driver components to the latest versions (mesa + xf86-video-intel). If you still have gpu hangs with all that, please file a bug report against DRM -> DRI/Intel and please attach the i915_error_state from debugfs after your gpu hung).
