I downloaded and install recent kernel as requested in comment 3. This
made no difference. Computer would not finish booting. Booting through
recovery mode per initail report works just fine.

don@PC-001:~$ uname -a
Linux PC-001 3.13.11-03131109-generic #201410141735 SMP Tue Oct 14 21:56:21 UTC 
2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I then updated bios from 2.2.0 to 2.6.6 (Thanks Christopher).  This also
made no difference.

don@PC-001:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
[sudo] password for don: 
2.6.6 

I do not know how to add (or modify) tags so have not added 'kernel-bug-
exists-upstream' (per comment 3) or changed the 'bios-outdated-2.6.6'
tag.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
