Oh, I was not suggesting a hardware problem.

The most likely cause is a software issue in userspace, e.g. wrong order 
of doing thing, doing things to fast without waiting etc...

There are tons of things how userspace can crash GPU hardware you can't 
prevent in the kernel. Especially sending an endless loop is well known 
as Turing's halting problems and not even theoretically solvable.

I suggest to start digging in userspace instead.
