Hi,

Because I speculated that a bug in x.org ATI Technologies/AMD display device driver was causing issues on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit, most of my analysis of the issue is at freedesktop.org's Bugzilla.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55784

Anyway, for now I changed the graphics card to XFX Radeon HD 5450 512 MB PCIe graphics card since several ATI Technologies/AMD PCIe graphics cards exhibit the same bug behavior with ASUS P5VD1-X mainboard on Ubuntu 12.04.
I installed the latest v3.7-rc7-raring version of the Linux kernel for regression testing purposes from this URL.

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-rc7-raring/

I still see the exact same bug behavior with v3.7-rc7-raring.
I made sure the Linux kernel version is 3.7-rc7 from Terminal the following way.

$ uname -r
3.7.0-030700rc7-generic

I found a temporary workaround of the bug and I will discuss it shortly.
In the meantime, I will add,

kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.7-rc7

And remove,

needs-upstream-testing
