And what 'computer' is that? Can you (from a terminal):

sudo lshw > lshwelmo.txt

and then

gedit lshwelmo.txt

and then copy & post the output of that file?

Also look in /var/crash and see if there are any files there?

And from a terminal:

gedit ~/.xsession-errors

and see if there are any obvious errors there?

Other possible information that may be helpful:

fdisk -l
free


My _guess_ would be perhaps a video card, swap, or drive issue. But
without more details of the machine it's pretty hard to guess.
