I just installed Ubuntu v.12.1 (I think) and a lot of installation problems seem to have occured as the machine keeps wanting to send bug reports one after the other.
I must say that the machine also has a version of Windows installed and that it also refuses to boot properly. I am beginning to supsect hardware trouble.
