thats pretty much a stab in the dark trying to answer that question 
without more info.  hardware?, ubuntu version?, logs?

ive been using different flavors of ubuntu or debian for no less than 5 
years on dozens of computers and never experienced a crash due to 
*ubuntu*.  I would check your hardware as suggested above, most often 
these problems are hardware related. i smell a 5 letter word that begins 
with t.
