Thanks Robin.<br>
<br>
I will do a memtest as suggested by Lee but frankly I think it is too<br>
much of a coincidence, starting on two machines simultaneously when<br>
installing 12.04. Neither of them had similar symptoms beforhand.<br>

<br><br></blockquote></div><div><br></div>Jan, it seems to me unlikely that both machines have this problem due to bad memory... Might the images/disks you got from your pc shop friend have been bad? This has happened to me before. It could be either the images were corrupted during download, or they were downloaded from a bad source, or even the disks or disk burner (or burning software) that could be bad.<br clear="all">

</font></span></blockquote></div><br>Jan, I just had another idea. Is the system perhaps trying to access a hard drive or something (perhaps you save your mail, or LibreOffice files on it) that is not yet mounted? Perhaps a drive that is not the main filesystem (like windows NTFS), or that is on separate or external drive?<br clear="all">
