Ubuntu 6.06 Machine Constantly locking up.

[Jamie Kerwick]

Thanks for your suggestions. I have looked through /var/log/syslog and
there doesn't appear to be anything in there.

I have also tried running the memory test, but it froze during that,
though interestingly the + after Memtest (in the top right, with green
background) still flashes!

So the power supply it is!

Once again thanks everyone for their help & suggestions.
