I'm running 12.04 on an old HP dc7600 with 2.5GB's of RAM under Unity &
it's been as solid as rock. I had a small problem with Software Centre
recently (see bug in Launchpad) but enabling Proposed in sources solved
that. And even after running Proposed since then, it's all O.K.

As others have noted, it's probably a hardware issue. Have you installed
any RAM lately?

Cheers,

  Phil...
