As Bruno said there is a /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state file
that contains a GPU dump at the time of the error which often contains the
vital clue at to what went wrong. If you can also think back to what was
happening on the machine at the time of the hang, that can also help
identify the trigger and the suspect code.

Thanks,
