Bryce - I've had several more crashes. They're happening on a daily basis - sometimes two or three times a day. I'm thinking about giving up on Ubuntu and trying something else. I read the link you posted, but there's a problem: in the gdb instructions it states, "Now do what you need to make the X server crash" but as these crashes are so random I cannot do that. Unless I'm reading things wrongly?

Also, /etc/X11/core does not exist - would the core dump be somewhere else? How do I find the core dump? - and there is nothing in var/crash after these crashes.

I'd really appreciate some help with understanding the instructions where it states "Another problem can be that the default maximum size of core files has been set to 0". Can I tell if it has been set to zero?
