. Please be very specific when reporting errors, try to give errormessages, and describe what happened before the "crashes". BTW, you (or your hardware) must be doing some high-quality strangeness: Linux (almost) never crashes. I've had one "crash" in 6 months; when the cable to my /hdd (/usr) worked itself loose...
