I see an indicator for tomboy, but I already have libappindicator1
installed. I don't think I installed it manually, so presumably
something else installed it.
Presumably your problem is solved however.

If nothing there then it could well be a hardware issue, overheating
possibly, or PSU for example. Try booting into memtest and leave it
running for a few hours and see if it freezes then or shows errors.

Good point. Does it display if you view it in Firefox or Chromium

Yes, good idea Stuart.
However, as I said previously, if your log is continually being

If it was the latter then which drive did it actually boot from to
