Ubuntu hard locks ever since Hardy came out last year.

I did never experience it before. Hardy was terrible it locked almost every 5 minutes. I dropped Hardy and went back to Gutsy. Intrepid was a lot better, but still hardlocked sometimes. After one month I went to Debian Lenny. Two weeks ago I tried the new Jaunty (which i'm still using now), which also hardlocks on me, for about once every two days.

The hardlocks are very random, similar to my experience with Hardy. There doesn't seem to be any connection with the programs I use, nor to the kernel, nor to my Nvidia card. Jaunty sometimes even hard locks during installation.

I don't feel happy about the hard locks still excisting. I left Window$ and wanted stability. Ubuntu innovated a lot in the last three years, there are a lot of changes I feel very happy about, but Ubuntu just doesn't seem to be stable anymore.

I have attached my lspci, if you need any more info, just let me know
