Please re-open this bug.
I own the same motherboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/ with last bios version 1804.
 I recently upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04. 12.04 was working flawlessly. Luckily I retained the old 3.2.0-83-generic-64 kernel from 12.04. It seems that it is a kernel related bug since both 3.13 and 3.16 kernel freeze the screen a few seconds after the boot.

Title:
  The computer freeze randomly

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The freeze problem actually started when I was using 12.04 LTS.  Every
  time when I was login to the desktop (after the computer is completely
  shut down) , the screen glitches and freezes.  However, when I restart
  the computer, the problem went away. Everything is normal again. This
  happened in every desktop environment that I have used (Gnome, Unity,
  Xfce).

  The problem getting worst after few days where I need to restart the
  computer twice (sometime 3 times) in order to make the system calm
  down.

  So, I think it was the driver problem, and I changed the VGA driver to
  its propriety Nvidia driver, but no avail. In fact, it getting worst.

  Then, I thought maybe the system not stable, so I upgrade the system
  to 14.04. But the problem still persist. Again, I installed the Nvdia
  driver again, it seem to work but eventually it also no avail. The
  problem seem more serious under Nvdia driver.

  And I revert back to the opensource driver. It works, but only in xfce
  environment.  It also freeze if I using other environment. It's okay
  for me to use xfce, but the thing is when I try to play the "Nibbles"
  (which I think it is preinstalled in 14.04), not long I played, it
  freeze again.

  I also thought this might be the hardware problem, maybe it is the
  onboard vga card got something wrong with it. After All, I have been
  using this computer for 5 years. But, when i using Window 7 (using
  dual boot), it's never be the problem. Everything is working fine in
  Window 7. So, the hardware issue, ruled out.

  Hope you can help.

  Thanks
