Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. I don't think this is an upstart issue. It will more likely be a kernel or graphics driver issue. I will tentatively re-assign it to the kernel for now. Do you have to reboot the machine after experiencing this, or can you just switch back to the X server afterwards? Could you please provide the following additional information:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. Xorg.0. log, /var/log/ Xorg.0. log.old, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.0 to this bug report.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
4. Please run the command "lsmod > lsmod.log" and attach the resulting file "lsmod.log" to this bug report.
5. Please re-create the problem and then attach your /var/log/
6. Please also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to this bug report (if you have one).
7. Could you also please try booting in recovery mode and tell me whether you can get to a root console.
8. If 7 was successful, then please try booting without "quiet" and "splash" and tell me if you can successfully switch to a console.
