Ubuntu 14.10 freeze at boot. After upgrade intel graphics (xorg-xserver etc)

For the last week I fully reinstall Ubuntu about 4 times. I fed up of this - so I cry for help!

Whatever I tried nothing work: purge and reinstall ubuntu-desktop, nvidia-drivers, xorg-xserver and so and so on.

Please, see the screenshot for more information at the moment when Ubuntu freeze (while booting)

enter image description here

The last actions were to add ppa:xorg-edges and install the latest packages, but unfortunately it doesn't help - result the same as before - black screen. However for now messages appear immediately after freezing.

UPDATE: I don't know how to solve it and the answer is proposed I accepted only because there is no workaround ways.

    The xorg-edgers are known for potentially breaking systems. You will need to boot into one of the recover modes (the one with networking available) and remove that package:

    sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

    To get into the recovery mode, hold the left shift key down at boot time so that you see the Grub menu - choose the recovery option, and choose a terminal with network capability. This does take a short while to load and become operational.
