It looks like this problem has been around for a while:

The intel driver seems to be a bit flaky at the moment. (I have run into
problems with my 82Q963/Q965 card as well.)
You can try to switch to XAA as suggested in the bug report.
You can save the following:
<driconf>
<device screen="0" driver="intel">
<application name="Default">
<option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
</application>
</device>
</driconf>
into a file named ".drirc" in your home directory and test if this
improves the situation. (I found some upstream bug reports suggesting to
set vblank_mode=0; however, this does not really make a difference for
me.)
You can wait for the next version of the intel driver in Debian or try
the current upstream snapshot.
You can try if a newer or older kernel improves the stability.
