Almost at the end of the 14.04 installation, the installer has crashed.

[Callmechakri]

I was performing a fresh installation of the Ubuntu 14.04 and the installation of the OS has progressed almost to the end and then installer has crashed.

I have been trying to install the OS for almost 2 days and it is failing with something or other.

This looks like it is likely a system hardware instability. Please run the memory test option from the boot menu for at least half an hour and let us know the results.

I have 2 Sticks of 4GB each RAM and the memory diagnostics has run for more
than an hour and there were no errors reported.

By the way, I have tried installing the OS once again and when I was
getting errors of the file mismatch on the CD/DVD, I started clicking on
SKIP all the time and the installation of OS has completed and on reboot,
it booted up all fine and good.

However, none of the applications are working fine.

Firefox crashes every now and then and its the same with chrome and
chromium which I have installed using the Ubuntu Software Manager.

Also I have downloaded and installed Vuze as well as Deluge(One after the
other) as they started good but stopped all of a sudden and did not start
working.

Hope if this information helps...
