(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We'll so I just installed Ubuntu on my Packard Bell imedia s3220, and yeah as the title says it freezes randomly, BUT quite often. An example of this would be when I'm trying to click firefox or whatever. Yeah, easy task's which should run smoothly. I'm new to linux, but are look forward to learn it, and I like it so far except for the freezes. I thought maybe this had to do something with the drivers, but I've downloaded the latest drivers so far, still no fix. Atleast I think I did it. I used the application Additional drivers or something like that, and installed all the programs. And Im wondering which task I can kill in the task manager, It's all different from windows, and I used to kill task which I didn't need on it.

Thanks in advance

Are you using unity? If so I'd recommend you switch to gnome 2, named 'gnome classic' on ubuntu, you can do that by following this - You must login or register to view this content. and then see if it keeps crashing.

The linux equivalent of windows task manager (GUI task manager, looks the same) would be gnome-system-monitor, which I'm pretty sure ubuntu comes with by default, in that you can kill processes.

Thanks man Just did this, and hopefully It gets better. I got a couple of more questions, and I might just ask them here as well.

So when I was going to restart my computer a page with alot of some sort of hexadecimal turned up. And I had to manually restart it, because I couldn't do anything else. Is this normal?

+ Last time I installed ubuntu the OS got damaged or something like that. A page with something called GRUB turned up, and as far as I understood it, It looked like it couldn't detect the kernel version etc, I had to reinstall ubuntu afterwards.

1) Honestly no idea, never heard of that happening.

2) GRUB is the bootloader, it loads the kernel and anything required for your hardware to work properly (I have no idea what caused your problem though)
