Hello,
I`m not an Ubuntu user, but your problem sounds pretty much like a generic
video driver issue (thou, I saw once something similar with a ricoh-mmc
smartcard reader). Try changing the actual videodriver (nvidia/nouveau/nv or
fglrx/ati - or even try to test it with plain vesa vga). Also, you can run a
ssh server there and when the system hangs try getting in by ssh. if you can
get in, start to debug...
