Public bug reported:

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
