Its cheap, and it may not fix the problem, but its first by a large margin in a long list of likely culprits.Recently, Hardware error messages such as the following have appeared every few weeks :-Hi, given that you say these sympoms appear and disappear, the first and easy thingI would try, is to re-seat (ie disconnect and reconnect) every SATA connector.Particularly device ata5 and whatever device is backing dm-0. .
Test by opening a terminal and putting a tail -fn50 /var/log/syslog, get where you can see the screen, and the opened computer and touch/move slightly, the middle of all sata cables with a lead pencil, move it half an inch or so, if the log blows up with errors, that cable is burnt toast, replace it.
