When I launch the software center, it searches for updates but then stops and says there in an internal error, do you want to send a report. When I press send report, the screen flashes to black and seems to proceed with a summary/diagnostic list. When this activity stops, the laptop has no more functionality, ie cursor will not move, etc. I am forced to power down before I can resume. I do not know if you actually get the report. I am using 13.04, unity on a HP-G62 laptop.
