Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythtv and Mythbuntu by opening this ticket, as well as the previous ones that you've opened on the same topic which I've closed as duplicates of this one. You have been the only one reporting this issue that I can see, so it seems most likely that there is a problem with your hardware. Please run memtest86+ overnight (or longer) to help verify that you DRAM is not going bad.

Excuse my poor english.

I'm not an expert, so please be patient vith me. Recently I've done a dram check and soon i will do another one.
In the moment that i wrote of 3,8 gb i'm using only 1.1gb and disk swap; I usually use wine to play civilization 5 for some ours without any problem. My machine is an HP pavillion DV5 1033

After linux login, apport warn me that there is some system trouble and ask me if i want to report it. I rarely use mythtv, and when i need i use it via a XBMC plugin and it always worked.

Now, just for try after the same apport system report of mythtv crash i loaded the fronten and it crashed. In the moment that i wrote i'm reporting it (Bug #712849 )

Please tell me if there is some other check that i could do to solve the mystery.
