After reboot, the operating system is loading, I hear the login sound, but no desktop. I succeeded to reboot the machine with Alt+SysRq key combinations. At reboot the desktop loaded correctly, so I decided to repeat the action.I enabled and then disabled the wifi with Fn+F2 and I go the black screen with the following message: [13.101779] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [93.487791] Kernel panic - not suncing: HwThreeWire(): CmdReg: 0XFF REIWE bits are not clear!! [93.488478] [drm:drm_fb_helper_panic] *ERROR* panic occured, switching back to text console Computer is frozen again. The wireless card works on the system, moreover when I press the same key combination (Fn+F2) to ENABLE the wifi, everything WORKS as it should be. The wifi led goes on and I can connect to a wireless network. When I try to disable it, the black screen comes up with a white dash and the mouse arrow, and nothing moves.
