[EdLUG] to Tai KedzierskiKubuntu errors

[tengo at tutanota.de]

Some suggestions...

Make sure you have the most recent BIOS version installed on your laptop? This might clear up some bugs.

Run a mem-test . The msgs in the screen shot you provided might be mis-leading you. The instability might be from faulty RAM.

When you install a new OS don't do all the updates at one time. Install them in batches to see if there is a particular update causing the issue.

> I'm struggling with frequent freezes on both Kubuntu and even using a (think it's call live USB) of Ubuntu ,just plugging in the USB of the relatively new (September install) Ubuntu without installing it,Google Maps seems to be a trigger or having more than 7 tabs & using the PC for a couple of hours...I haven't tried Ubuntu Mint yet,I'm a bit scared my laptop just generally freezes with any Ubuntu flavour possibly because of some BIOS issues,I'm not sure.
