I've had Ubuntu 10.04 installed on this system for a few months. In this time, I have experienced completely random freezes on almost a daily basis. They are completely unpredictable. I have experienced crashes while browsing, playing music, working on office stuff and while I am not at the computer. I've reinstalled once and updated the kernel multiple times. I have Ubuntu installed on a laptop as well, it does not have this issue.
I'm not a very experienced user, but I'll gladly perform any troubleshooting with instruction.
