I also have this issue with my Intel-I7-2600 based PC. The board is a original Intel one.
With Ubuntu and Unity or Gnome (even Gnome in 2D mode) i get random lockups of the complete PC. It does not matter if i do anything or if i just leave the PC alone. If i do not login to Gnome or Unity the PC does not hang.
So i tried XFCE4 and there i do not get any lockup as well. Just from time to time i get the crash of the script mentioned above.
This lets me assume Gnome and Unity cannot handle these GPU lockups but XFCE does. Just the current window hangs for some seconds short before the error message appears.
BTW: I am running 3.6.2-030602-generic at the moment because i had several kernel-oops with the original 3.2 kernel of Ubuntu 12.04LTS with this PC (also after updates). These do not occure with 3.6.2. Thats apparently a different problem.
