tweaking settings or switching desktops
I'd certainly try switching desktops to something that isn't insisting on doing 3D animations for everything. I use fvwm with intel video all the time and have never had a video related crash that I know of.
Is gnome using wayland instead of "normal" X these days? If so, another reason to switch.
