I am experiencing a same/similar issue on a Dell XPS13 Developer Edition
9333 and have seen it with linux-image-3.16.3-031603-generic (mainline)
linux-image-3.16.0-24-generic and linux-image-extra-3.16.0-23-generic. I
have attempted to test it with linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic but
it will not boot (/dev/disk/by-uuid does not exist, drops to busybox).

Sometimes I am able to switch to the VT with ctrl-alt-F1 and switch back
with ctrl-alt-F7, however once this has occurred it happens very
frequently until I reboot.

I have included a portion of my syslog which may possibly be related to
the issue.

Title:
  Screen goes black at random times

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 my screen goes black at random times.
  The sound keeps playing so I know it's still running.
  The only way I can get the screen back is by pressing the power button, which will show the shutdown selection window and unblackens the screen.
  Update: it probably has something to do with the graphics drivers because my screen also flashes black during gaming
  My laptop is a Lenovo ideapad z580
  Intel Core i7-3520M
  integrated graphics
  6 gb ram
  Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit
