I'm no ATI expert (at all - haven't used an ATI card since the 9700 days),
but the above dmesg line would indicate that the GPU itself hung - maybe a
BIOS/FW update (since this GPU is integrated on the MB) would be a good idea
to try? It still, of course, could be a driver issue - if the driver is
sending bad commands and getting the GPU into an invalid state, this could
happen, but my first thought would be that it is a FW or HW issue...

HTH-
