Upgrading to kernel 3.8.0-32-generic actually made this problem much worse, but last night's auto-upgrade including the error reporting software (apport, python files, etc.) along with the Intel 9xx and 8xx driver upgrade, etc. seems to have solved this. Thanks.

Sometime system text messages on a black screen will appear on the monitor or laptop screen when the graphical output quits. This problem happened with previous kernel upgrades this year and was resolved when a new display manager file was installed in a subsequent small auto upgrade. Reverting to 3.8.0-30 at start up now gets rid of the problem. The system is an ASUS K55A laptop with an i7 3630QM CPU having Intel HD 4000 on-chip graphics. I can help with some technical detective work to help solve this problem, but due to a slow EDGE Inet connection kernel bisections are not feasible. Thanks for your help.
