Steve,
there is a workaround that seems to be helping some people, try this:

If my bungie logo shows, the machine crashes and its to late, in order to
stop my problem I have to keep pressing spacebar until I get past that
screen. Then it works fine.

I tried the esc button but it will not prevent the bungie logo from loading,
go figure!
