I have just bought a new computer,a Lenovo 050 desktop. Its working reasonably okay except for the occasional crashes. For instance, I've had it a fortnight now and its longest uptime has been just over 3 days, even though its on all the time! It has crashed when I've been using it, and its crashed overnight whilst I've been asleep! There does not seem to be any pattern to it, or any noticeable trigger. When it crashes, the screen freezes, and both the usb keyboard and mouse freeze, and can not be used. In its most recent crash, it shows this in logwatch the following day --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------ WARNING: Segmentation Faults in these executables Watchdog : 2 Time(s) WARNING: Kernel Errors Present INFO: recovery required on readonly filesyste ...: 1 Time(s) mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check ...: 4 Time(s) ---------------------- Kernel End ------------------------- --------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin ------------------------ New Users: glances (123) New Groups: glances (134) Changed password expiry for users: glances : 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** lightdm: pam_ck_connector(lightdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0: 1 Time(s) systemd-logind: New seat seat0.: 1 Time(s) systemd-logind: Watching system buttons on /dev/input/event3 (Power Button): 1 Time(s) systemd-logind: Watching system buttons on /dev/input/event4 (Sleep Button): 1 Time(s) systemd-logind: Watching system buttons on /dev/input/event5 (Power Button): 1 Time(s) systemd-logind: Watching system buttons on /dev/input/event7 (Video Bus): 1 Time(s) usermod: change user 'glances' password: 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End ------------------------- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- What should I - a) - install, to get a better idea of why its crashing? b) - do to stop/get round the crashing please?
