I haven't found a bug report for this issue involving a 32-bit 12.04 installation, but otherwise I have the same problem as the rest of the people here: complete/hard freeze with no mouse movement, tty console, or ability to SSH into machine.

System configuration:
Intel Ivy Bridge i5 3570k 3.4 Ghz
Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H motherboard
4GB GSkill RAM
Using onboard Intel HD4000 graphics.

Problem persists with regular Unity and Unity 2D desktop.
Problem does NOT occurr when using old Nvidia 8400GS discrete graphics card.

Freeze can be reproduced with Firefox browser spending a couple minutes spinning ships here: http://www.eveonline.com/universe/spaceships/

Finding this bug saved me from RMA-ing brand new hardware.
