The scrambling issue has repeated itself since my initial bug report. At the time that it happened, I was only after booting was completed and I couldn't see or do anything with my laptop until I suspended it with the power button. On another occasion a few weeks ago, this same issue occurred and I believe I did a shutdown by holding the power button until it powered off and restarted with a successful restart at that point.
