It sometimes happens as soon as the login screen shows up, sometimes it happens after you hit enter, and roughly 1:8 tries it will make it all the way to the desktop.

I believe that all of our systems are running NVIDIA drivers, but we have replicated it on a system not running the NVIDIA driver.

Most of them report:
iucode-tool: system has processor(s) with signature 0x000906e9
We have one that reports:
iucode-tool: system has processor(s) with signature 0x000906ea
