Welcome to the club.   I've been having the same problem and in spite of 
all the "remedies" offered here, the problem is still there. 
I don't have any problem with 7.10 but 8.04 goes into total lockup, 
sometimes very soon after booting and sometimes it works perfectly for a 
long period before lockup and like you, the only exit from lockup is to 
do a shutdown.
