-----------------------------------------

I have precisely the same machine as the poster above and experienced precisely the same problem after upgrading to 10.04 using Update Manager.

I've installed all updates since full release and problem still not solved:

Machine boots to initial Ubuntu splash screen for about .35 sec then goes black. Only way to escape is to hold down power button. Can boot using "low-res graphic mode" but system eventually locks up. Also of note, on this dual boot Windows XP system, after a short while of loading XP, it also locks up and goes to BSOD. Never done that previously.
