Christopher, follow your instructions, I install the new BIOS for 8470w,
now is already F.45.

sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
s 
68ICF Ver. F.45
10/07/2013

But this problem is still the same.  kernel version linux-
image-3.5.0-22+ are effected. It's *really* terrible. so please fix it
if you can. we can upgrade to ubuntu13.x or 14.x. only stay in the low
version.

BTW, when the system booting, in Bios menu, I notice that the system
bios and video bios are separated, system bios is F.45 now, but video
bios is still a version stay in 2012 sometime.

  image-3.5.0-23-generic are causing video display problems

Bug description:
  linux-image-3.5.0-22-generic and linux-image-3.5.0-23-generic are
  causing video display problems on hp elitebook 8470w with ATI/AMD
  FirePro M2000 graphics card.

  ATI Thames [Radeon 7500M/7600M Series]

  The system is unusable after this kernel upgrade - the display is flickering 
right after plymouth starts. Console is also not usable. However, the system 
works fine when I disable plymouth (delete "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" from grub 
config).
  linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic and earlier kernels are working fine.
  Using Ubuntu 12.10.

  Upstream 3.8 kernel also has this bug.

  WORKAROUND: Use fglrx driver.
