I've reproduced the issue on Piledriver platform with AMD 9590 CPU, with both ATI and Nvidia PCI GPUs.

With the ATI GPU, I get the usual symptom of the computer freezing display while the GNOME desktop is partially loaded. It's possible to open a TTY console by switching consoles but once returned to the graphical desktop, the computer becomes definitely unresponsive. This is similar to what is seen on older hardware like K10 or K8 platforms.

With the Nvidia GPUs, I get garbage (we can even notice some parts of the GNOME desktop), and the computer is unresponsive. Sometime the display is lost then returns and it cycles like that. This is the usual symptom seen on older hardware like K10 and K8 platforms.
