Thanks for all who replied, I have 3 hard drives connected to the machine, 2 sata and one usb2 external storage. I am replacing the GPU today, a colleague of mine will give him a psu that he has, will try that tomorrow. Hopefully those changes will resolve it, if not, I'll try from a live cd. problem is the crashes are random, and they happen every 1-2 days, so there is a long waiting time between 1 attempt and the other. will keep you updated, thanks again, Seif A, -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
