I've just installed kernel 3.8.3-030803-generic and it works by now. I followed this instructions http://www.upubuntu.com/2013/03/inst...el-383-in.html
I don't know if it's going to be a good idea passing from 3.2.X to 3.8.x.

I'm having the freeze too. After yesterday's update to 3.2.0-39 my system freezes constantly. 12.04 64b
Same problem for 32-bits kernel 3.2.0-39 upgrade. System hangs, and only mouse pointer can be moved. Can't even change to terminal (ALT-F1). Also noticing minor screen refresh glitches where small rectangles on the screen don't refresh properly. Related to Intel graphics driver (see also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2127155 )?
Reverted back to kernel-3.2.0-38 by setting GRUB_DEFAULT=2 (sudo vi /etc/default/grub) and doing a sudo update-grub.
Is there a permanent fix to this yet?
I'm still pressing SHIFT after the BIOS screen and using the previous kernel. I've got the latest updates but kernel 3.2.0-39 still freezes up.
This is a major problem (especially as I'm not a computer person!), surely it would have been attended to by now? I just can't find a permanent solution.
Ok, I have now downloaded the latest kernel, 3.2.0-40, but the problem remains - the system freezes shortly after logging in. So I am still having to access the grub menu and select kernel 3.2.0-38.
Could anybody please help me fix whatever is going wrong?

This problem seems to be pretty prevalent, at least on Intel based machines. As 12.04 is the long term release I think they will push a new kernel release soon. In the meantime use the previous version.
Just crashed my machine again launching Virtualbox. Same hard freeze. And my other machine that uses the -40 Kernel crashed yesterday for the first time ever! At least it dumped an error to the screen--referenced Virtualbox even though it was not in use at the time. Been using Intel DQ77KB motherboards and they are rock solid. I used to be able to say that about Linux...
Same problem here. Also integrated intel video on 12.04 64 Bit. Since upgrade to 3.2.0.39 (also 3.2.0.40) reproducibly crashing under minor X activity. Yes, there should very, very many machines with this spec out there. Still... doesn't get fixed. I am running 3.2.0.38 just fine. But it took me a frustrating while to find out. Would this have been better, if I bought commercial support? I am using this machine for work after all.
Problem solved upgrading to 3.5.0-28-generic kernel (thanks to jcanipe from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2127155).
What I've actually done was:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal
If you had your grub changed to stick with 3.2.0-38, you will have to revert change back to normal:
$ sudo vim /etc/default/grub
and after saving it:
$ sudo update-grub
Restart and enjoy.
