At one point, I had 25 various xorg files, all different
iterations of the same thing. I tried to delete the excess ones and
got the basic one too, so the machine was toast. Reloaded Kubuntu
and started searching on the internet and found some common problems
having to do with missing lines for vertical and horizontal specs for
monitors. Currently, I have added the lines and it seems to be
running well, but I'll give it a few days before I trust it again --
the problem only seems to show up on a reboot.
