I am having Laptop freezing issues. Whenever I try to use Firfox and vlc, chrome and vlc, firefox and chrome, or anything similar to that my computer freezes. I always have to kill one of the processes before I can use my laptop again. I am guessing this is a hardware issue because when I move the HD to my other laptop it works just fine without freezing.

Hello all. I'm relativly new to Linux, and don't know a whole buch about it, but in the other aspects of computers I'm pretty knowlegable. When my laptop hardrive crashed a few months ago I decided to try a version of Linux insted of XP again. While I was running Ubuntu 9.4, my system worked fine, but then I updated to 9.10 and my computer began to randomly freeze.
I run Chrome on my laptop and it randomly freezes shortly after opening a new tab. It is a rather old notebook (MSI Megabook GX600 Extreme) with a Core2Duo and 2GB RAM. It runs Ubuntu 12.10 64Bit.
As soon as the interface locks up, massive read / writes seem to occur as the hard drive starts to get noisy.
I have an HP 530 laptop dual-booting Karmic and XP. This is the series of events that lead to the current state of affairs:
1. Mouse Pad began troubleshooting and acting randomly both in Windows and Ubuntu.
2. As a result, I unplugged the ribbon tape connecting the mousepad to the motherboard and am currently using a USB mouse.
I need help. I was told that Linux was a more stable computer, and I enjoyed what it stood for. But I'm not a computer programmer and I've been unable to get help for the issues that I have and I don't know what to do.
1. Dwell Click randomly stops working. I shut it down, log off it doesn't start off. Then randomly one day I start it up and it is working again.
I have read every single post about system freezes, but cannot find my exact problem.
Basically, Ubuntu 11.10 is randomly freezing. When it happens, I cannot do anything, not even move the mouse. Everything is locked up, even the keyboard is not responding (num lock does nothing).
I got the problem that my Ubuntu 12.04 system entirely freezes, including there will be no mouse or keyboard action, at random situations with the consequence that there is nothing I can do but a hard reset. There is no particular situation in which this issue occurs but often while using Eclipse IDE or being in Chrome Browser. Sometimes while being on the desktop, too.
