Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I suspect this is a duplicate of bug 106063, but without more information it is hard to tell. Could you add the output of 'sudo lspci -vv' from a booting kernel or most pictures of the error messages when your system does not boot? Thanks in advance.
