Thanks for all the replies. Mr Meowski's reply summed up where I am exactly. He couldn't have made it clearer and it really helped. So this morning I tested the idea out on my laptop (it has no data on it) and totally messed up the install. I was using Fedora 27 and had the same crashing issues. So I thought I would install kde on Fedora. I don't know how I managed to get it so wrong but on the boot menu I ended up with an install of Ubuntu and install of Fedora. So I'm installing a fresh version of Ubuntu on my laptop. I have since been reading around the possible problems. I have been using Dropbox and the demon running that has caused Gnome 3 users problems. Some extensions have been causing some issues. I am going to persevere with Fedora on the main desktop and see if I stop using the Dropbox demon and cease using Gnome extensions whether that improves things. I do have data backed up thankfully but I am persevering. If it still causes issues I will be getting hold of a ssd and using that to run as my primary drive and have the 2 sata disks as seperate from the system disk. I think I taught myself a lesson here! Thanks for the continued help.
