When I boot into Ubuntu on my computer most of the time the monitors will freeze and the system will become unresponsive. I have to force restart my computer in order to get out of the freeze.

Any idea why this might be happening? The monitors all work perfectly fine when I boot into Windows. Is there an issue with my graphics card and Ubuntu specifically?
