I can reproduce this bug 100%. Also there is a workaround, just using Gnome classic (No effects). But if I use anything fancy which has desktop effects, all I need to do is mplayer some video, and as soon as screen saver starts to dim the screen, computer just shuts down.
I have plenty of these in kernel log: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:793 intel_enable_pipe+0x14a/0x150 [i915]() ..
