Looks like you need to avoid that kernel version. I would try 3.7.8 or something. I wouldn't use the 3.8 just yet. There was another thread about it having some sort of changes and the nvidia drivers *may* not be ready. At least you have a screen to look at now. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!

My solution, don't reboot. lol I do upgrade when I can tho. If 3.1.6 is working, use it for a while until you can test another version and have success. I've had to skip versions a few times to because of a problem with something not working right. It happens. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
