Nima Dolatabadi, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

1) Could you please attach a screenshot that demonstrates this problem?

2) Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker of the computer itself (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal command)?

3) Is this something that started to happen after an update? If so, which specifically?

4) After the issue, are there crash files in /var/crash?

5) To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?
