Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.4 Desktop (32 bit) freezes after install on HP dv7-3183cl.
The install media was booted from a USB drive. Live mode works fine and the install finished successfully.
After boot, the boot menu is displayed, then the splash screen. After that the screen flickers a few times and then remains blank. The keyboard gives no response (no caps lock toggle or switching to other consoles).
I have tried to start the X server in recovery mode and it will not start.
I have re installing three times and the issue remains.
This laptop has nvidia GEFORCE with CUDA video.
Specs:
GeForce G105M
16 CUDA Cores
VBIOS Version 70.18.1f.00.2e
Memory: 512MB
Memory Interface: 64-bit

I have installed 11.10, and the machine works fine.

I'll be happy to add any information I can, but there isn't much I can do add. From http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting

Step-by-step directions for how you reproduced it - Install 12.04 and try to boot
When was your system last working properly? - 11.10
photo of the screen - The screen is black and the system doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse movements.

If any other logfiles or tests are necessary I will try to help.
