Kernel 4.4.11 (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/)
seems to work with the Nouveau driver, without a freeze.  (have only
tested for a short period of time thus far).

Title:
  [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* CPU pipe
  B FIFO underrun

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running Gnome-Shell on ubuntu 16.04 on my Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop
  using Intel graphics (Nvidia card turned off), I get this error in
  syslog when plugging in an external monitor (HDMI).

  Apr 11 14:28:38 miaco kernel: [ 2616.604641]
  [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* CPU pipe
  B FIFO underrun


  Meanwhile both screens flash and show corruption. Most of the time
  this has caused a hang that needs a hard power off to get out of, but
  occasionally removing the external monitor is enough to get going
  again and so I've been able to find this message in the logs.

  Note that when using Nvidia (proprietary) drivers and Unity DE I do
  not have this problem; so it seems to be related to the intel drivers,
  or possibly Gnome Shell's use of them.

  Happy to help if I can (would like to be able to use external
  monitors!)
