Title:
  Pink bar and disappearing background just after GRUB menu or after
  turning on screen after inactivity period

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As the title says, I'm having a strange behaviour that appears
  randomly. Sometimes it happens just after passing the GRUB menu and I
  have to turn off computer or reboot with Ctrl + Alt + Del various
  times in a row until it decides to load the graphics card correctly.

  It also happens when the screen turns on after having turned off due
  to inactivity. If after some time I try to wake up the screen by
  moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard, the same pink bar
  and colour degradation appears. The system is working perfectly as I
  can type my password, still listen sound and reboot by pressing menus
  as I can remember them, it's just that the framebuffer gets corrupted.

  I have attached a video (MKV container, encoded with H.264 for video
  and MP3 for audio) of this event when it occurs just after the GRUB
  menu. It's always the same pink/blue bar and that background
  degradation, doesn't matter if it's at boot time or trying to continue
  my open session.

  My laptop is an ASUS N53SN and has an Intel Core i7 2630QM (Sandy
  Bridge) with an NVIDIA GT550M that I have disabled by blacklisting the
  nouveau module. This bug was showing before doing that anyways so it
  doesn't matter.

  Just for more indications, this laptop has a LED to tell which card is
  supposed to be running. If the LED is blue it's running the Intel
  integrated card, but if it's white then it's the NVIDIA GT500M which
  is supposed to be working. The LED is always white, something that for
  me does not have any logic because I have disabled any modules that
  have something to do with the NVIDIA GPU. I've even issued the
  Ironhide commands to disable the card and that LED maintains it's
  white color. I just say it because maybe it's related, although it
  just maybe an ACPI or WMI problem.
