Hi, same here after updating to Ubuntu 12.04.3 

Kernel 3.8.0-33-generic


lspci -nnvv says:

Graphic is distorted once it happens the system is frozen ( with some luck I
may reach a terminal ) 

Before it happens the fontcolor in Windowframes changes to "white on white
"
e.g. same as the background color 
I run a E8410 Lifebook 

BTW : Using the Nvidia proprietary drivers is not an option they made the
system unusable at all and forced me to reinstall several times
