I sometimes have a similar problem. The display is flickering awfully immediately after boot. Instead of rebooting every time I have found the following work-around.

1. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to the console (text only)

2. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to X Windows (graphical desktop)

Maybe the same trick does it for you?

Can you help with this problem?
