PC freezing
I have had problems with my PC freezing. I am running Ubuntu 9.10. One suggestion was that when it freezes, instead of manually shutting down, I should use CTRL/Alt/ F2. When I do that, I cannot get out of it without again manually shutting down my PC. It freezes in Firefox and Thunderbird. There seems to be no consistency. Anyone have any suggestions? I am new at this and it is really frustrating.

After hitting <Ctrl + Alt + F2>, what else are you doing?
That key combo gives you a CLI where you can catch error messages.
After going to console, try getting the output of:
Post the output here, and someone should be able to help you out.Code:tail -20 /var/log/messages

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Post the output of this too :
Code:sudo lspci | grep -i vga grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
