Does the problem disappear when you open a Terminal and issue the command "sudo apt-get -f install"?

Not sure I just reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 from disk and problem disappeared. I had a similar problem which the computer would not boot and I had to run the repair log in. si it is working now it deleted the screen saver program and a couple other items but it is working now.
