Hard to say without more information. The next time it crashes, you might want to note the time, and look at messages in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/kern.log for messages around that time period, and post them here and/or post a link to a pastebin of the logs. Then it might be easier to figure out what is going on. Hope you can do that, and that it will help. Trouble with new computers is never any fun :-( Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?"
