Title:
  i915 underrun errors causing screen blanking

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am having issues with my displays blanking out and coming back after
  2 seconds, quite often.. sometimes a few times in 10 seconds sometimes
  once a minute.  I only just started using the Intel graphics today,
  instead of previously using a radeon card.

  My setup is 1xDVI + 1x Displayport, with a powered mulitlink adaptor
  to then connect 2 displays.  Only the displayport displays blank out.

  Similar errors to reported in #1451632 -- I am running xenial up to
  date as of today, 4.3.0-5-generic.

  These errors keep appearing, but lots of other stuff is also
  appearing.  A bunch more occurred since I ran ubuntu-bug to generate
  all the xorg data, so i'll attach an extra dmesg log.

  [ 4143.345679] [drm:intel_set_cpu_fifo_underrun_reporting [i915]] *ERROR* uncleared fifo underrun on pipe C
  [ 4143.345688] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe C FIFO underrun

  
  Did not happen first at boot, but once it started didn't stop happening.  Was playing video at the time but pausing it didn't seem to stop it.
