flicker err w/out monitor config compatible modes

on Nov 24-27 I log in 15.10 Wily 1 T Western Digital produced the following note, which hasn't been solvable; I don't see a way to restore bug's behavior; amid this posting on 11-27th 8am cst, the flicker error pest took over; it close the monitor then w/mouse clicks, the screen achieved sanity, allowing me to post this sentence and hopefully more info below.

immediately after booting OS says: "Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:
Trying modes for CRTC 63
CRTC 63: trying mode 1440x900@60Hz with output at 1280x1024@75Hz (pass 0)

11-27th Bug #1520583 created.
Flicker err bug #1520583 ? Is it anything like a Nvidia bug? My PC's screen looks like a Venetian blind being mismanaged by swift wind. On P5GC-MX, BIOS 0314, 5/27/2007 1510 Wily Ubuntu. A report I can't find says “unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000008
Am running 1510 Wily Ubuntu on My used 1 Tbit WD in Mirus PC clone runs a newly installed OS great for hours; then screen flips into a fluttering blind affect mode; and for all practical purposes, during the crash, it looks unmanageable. like it crashes amid a fluttering Venetian blind.

OS can be retrieved if I'm patient but at times I must power off & login. OS did not produce a reportable error/crash description.
What work around could be used to solve/smash bug #1520583?

I'm baffled by bug #1520583.

being I'm totally unacquainted with bug #1520583, I ask is it a stranger or a new form of Nvidia related trouble?

bug #1520583 is smacking me when I need freedom to write a missle. Help.

new install 1510Wily on 1 WD Tbit, Screen flips & crashes/takes over/dying fluttering like a wind blown venetian blind
Bug #1520583 [& Bug 1511158] combine as an outflow of a WD 1 T HD that drives 3 other HDs including a 750g maxtor, an 80g seagate and 120 g Seagate. Question, is the flutter arising in the WD HD or somewhere within the 3 other hard drives?

Robie I've gotta ask a higher power's intervention

thx/Seasons Greetings Robie. For now, I don't know which way to turn except seeing months down the tubes
1. I acknowledge I'm the who lost a few very valuable work when a bug crashed my PC, which I can't fix whatever has caused my fluttering greyed out monitor screen, leading to crash after crash, saying for example mysql-server-5.6 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
2. I must set my ailing PC the side, save my files to my cloud; and when feasible wipe this new WD 1T HD clean, then I guess, install 15.04 in lieu of 15.10
3. Already, alternatively I bought a new laptop got me Win 8.1 obsessively wanting to auto-upgrade to Win 10full of advertisements. I mean, to get the peace of mind Linux brings, that I must partition that new laptop's HD and very carefully select and install an OS having better reports
4) Bug #1520583 & Bug 1511158 are in combination are very real. I give up,,,,,. They result as an outflow of a WD 1 T HD that drives 3 other HDs including a 750g maxtor, an 80g seagate and 120 g Seagate. The flutter has arisen just as I entered launchpad trying to respond to your inquiry Robie on this PC's WD HD or somewhere within the 3 other hard drives?
5) I give up and will pay the guys at Frankenstein's store to partition my new ASUS laptop where I've not been able to open the BIOs,,,, ouch...
Again, Seasons Greetings!!!!

@ 4 pm cst 1-12-16, Flicker err bug #1520583 rose its head. The PC's screen again looked like a Venetian blind mangled by a wind.

It self corrected.

My clone P5GC-MX, BIOS 0314, bought 5/27/2007 with 1 tbit WD HD running 15.10 Wily

Eric @ EMAX COMPUTERS tested my hardware saying your PC is stable though it's feasible your ? card may be weak.

I have too little experience or performance data to determine if Bug #1520583 and/or Bug 1511158 have combined.....???

Flicker err bug #1520583 & Bug 1511158 continues every few hours. Sometimes PC must be powered off. Screen gets like a Venetian blind; remains mangled. Depending on severity, I lose work under way.

Because I must turn out results, on 1.20.16, I must set this Mirus P5GC-MX, BIOS 0314, bought 5/27/2007 aside and try a clone...

I just woke early with a question. Before I had chance to seek my own answer my monitor died as the Flicker err bug #1520583 & Bug 1511158 took over.

my G-Partition Editor says the ext 2 file system is 62.65 MiB 26 % used
       1) UUID on this 1 t-bit WD hard drive dc41387a-ee90-463b-a5da-943003503b2b says
       2) its size is 243.00 MiB
       3) its partition path is /dev/sda1 on which its First Sector is: 2048; Last sector is: 499711 and total sectors is: 497664

I report this because there's been a warning that my 1 T-bit hard drive will not allow me to accept a 45 mb update nor will the bugs that I have cited go away. Surely this is a serious situation, which should be solvable.

if I were a developer or even a tech, I would re-size the partition using my G-Partition Editor. Being 76, I am afraid to wipe out hard to get work done on my PC.

 Please help solve Flicker err bug #1520583 & Bug 1511158
