It's impossible to say without more detailed error messages, and the best way to have a crash addressed is by filing a bug. But you can bypass those gui tools and type this into the terminal to upgrade any outdated packages which might be causing conflicts or something: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. Then reboot for good measure.

There is a duplicate row into your sources.list file, open a terminal and type:

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Copy and paste the file content here... and please don't mark your question as solved now, it is not solved.
