HI, thanks for the reply. I have tried to install Flash from the Software Centre but it doesn't work. I think I might have a serious hardware issue as firefox keeps crashing plus other programmes for no reason. I'm thinking about getting a new motherboard...THe software centre itself shouldn't crash should it!? I had the same problems with a windows instillation but was hoping that installing Ubuntu might solve the problem but unfortunatly not :(

Get memtest86+ and leave it running all night. You can probably install it and boot it by selecing it from the LILO or GRUB menu - or get something like the GParted CD-ROM and boot off that which contains memtest86+

Leave it running overnight if you can.

It's not a fool-proof test, but it's a start.
