Thanks for your report.

Could you run memtest on your system? (boot a live CD / USB key and select test memory)

I hope this works--I'm used to fedora's system
memtest has been running for 3+ hours and looks to be about 50% done.
Many, Many errors (like why it took dozens of trial to actually
install ubuntu; but then again windows wouldn't install at all).
That would certainly explain a lot of things; fortunately, it's not my
main system.

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment regarding it is a hardware failure and nothing we can fix in Ubuntu. Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
