Since I've installed ubuntu 12.04 I have this problem (on mint 13 I also had this problem) now I have ubuntu 12.10 updated and windows 7 with it.

When I go to windows everything works fine but some times suddenly if I choose ubuntu, it will stuck in violet screen. Even the login screen wont come and I should press and hold the power button to reset my laptop I have to do this for 3 or 4 times.

After reseting and choosing ubuntu again a black screen come and there is a dash in it and nothing else. I'm woried about my lap top . if I reset it again I'm afraid it could get serious problems.

My laptop is hp probook 4520s 1GB swap space.

I have had this issue when Ubuntu automatically does a check disk. Sometimes it doesn't actually display that it is doing it. It appears like it is hanging, but if I let it go it completes after a while and let me log in. If I reset it before it finishes, it just tries again on next boot, so I have to let it finish the first time.

Have you tried leaving for say 20-30 mins? See if it is doing a check in background.

If so, can you log in after pressing ctl-alt-F1 ?

If you can, log in via command line and type dmesg. See if it sheds any light.
