ubuntu 9.10 freezes up, and eventually won't reboot, requiring fresh install
Usually when browsing in Firefox, the page will freeze up. At this point, while the mouse pointer moves, no tabs or icons on the page, desktop, or any toolbar will respond. The only solution is to hard crash the computer and reboot. Usually this works and everything is fine when I reboot. Twice though now, I have been unable to reboot into Ubuntu, and have reinstalled. A command line comes up, but none of the offered commands do anything to recover the system. I run a dual boot system with Ubuntu using 30gigs on my secondary hard drive. Previously I had noted that about 16 gigs of the 30 were still available. I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm sure theres something else I could be doing, just need to know what.
Thanks
