This bug was affecting me under these specific circumstances: Ubuntu 13.10 - all updates applied Hardware: HP Elitebook 8440p (Video is NVIDIA NVS 3100M graphics) Problem seemed more prevalent when laptop was under load and was getting hot, almost like a CPU thermal shutdown issue..
This problem has stabalised for me since upgrading to 14.04, and have not had an issue since.. Regardless of new report policy for this site...

But everything worked fine. until recently i had strange problem of my display screen getting freezed randomly; but no response to either mouse/keyboard. But i want to point it out; it happens randomly and is not specific ? Other day, i had music player playing in background, but screen freezed. but my music was still running. Kindly note, i used multiple monitor setup and same issue of screen freeze also cropped up.
