Roughly every other time I reboot, I get past my grub screen and then the left and right side monitors are on and "awake" but blank, and the center screen never comes out of sleep mode. The boot never progresses past this point and you can't switch to another virtual console or anything. It's just apparently frozen there. If I hit the reset button on the case, it usually boots to the login screen just fine the next time around.
