ubuntu-us-nj graphics causing crash?

Hold down "Shift" to see the GRUB menu. Sometimes the timing is tricky,
because it may have to be after the keyboard is loaded. Depends on the
system.

FWIW, I just had to deal with the same thing. After I eliminated the memory
as the problem, I replaced the PS (got a good one on sale from MicroCenter
for $20) and it has been going strong for about a month now.

A third, and less likely, cause is a motherboard/BIOS problem. You haven't
recently added/removed any hardware or changed the BIOS, have you?

Good luck!
