It's been a while since I've installed ubuntu, so I don't remember this issue very well, but I think if you let the computer sit after it hangs, it should eventually drop to a shell. From there you can do some very basic things (enough to get some log files off onto a usb drive) If you could run 'lspci -vv' and 'cat /var/log/syslog' then upload the output, that may help.
