HP Envy 3D 17" laptop

Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 from the DVD.  I ran the system with 4 cpus at 100% for 24 hours.
I use the windows 7 boot loader to select the OS to boot.
I can boot windows 7 from disk0 partition 1 every time without fail
Selecting Ubuntu always gets to the grub screen

> apt-cache policy grub

  Version table:

Ubuntu 11.04 recovery mode will boot every time from disk1 partition 1
Ubuntu 11.04 generic fails 90% of the time, hanging with a black or blank screen

> apt-cache policy xorg

I can always boot into the recovery mode and access var/log

What additional information may I provide?
What can I try?
