After updating to Ubuntu 13.04 (from 12.04) I've got a blackscreen at boot. The machine is running fine as I hear the startup sound to enter my password, I just don't see anything.

I started using GRUB mode and nomodeset, everything is working then but the machine is extremely slow (not usable).

Sounds like there is a problem with the integrated intel graphics driver in Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit).

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Try to update kernel 3.9. Boot on recovery mode, open the terminal and use this commands:

cd /tmp
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47950494/upubuntu.com/kernel-3.9 -O kernel-3.9
chmod +x kernel-3.9
sudo sh kernel-3.9
sudo reboot

PS: I have a hp 530 too and it works ;)

OP's answer:

After researching quite some time I found the solution.

  1. Update to kernel 3.9.3; http://www.ubuntukiller.com/2013/05/how-to-updateupgradeinstall-linux.html#.UaAIIOcW0jN
  2. Patch the BCM4312 drivers afterwards (be sure to download the file before the kernel upgrade as your internet is gone after the upgrade); http://www.mindwerks.net/2012/06/wireless-bcm4312-with-the-3-4-and-3-5-kernel/
