Hey guys, i am using a computer that i built myself by buying the necessary parts. It has a dual boot of Windows Vista SP2 and Ubuntu 9.10. My problem is that i have been having some problems with both the installations. I have been having complete system freezes in Vista when using Chrome. I have not been doing anything resource intensive, just been using Chrome and the iplayer. Nothing is also shown in the event viewer log. In Ubuntu it would appear that the complete system freezes when watching Flash iplayer in full screen. I was using my 23 inch widescreen. I disabled my compiz to use metacity. i also removed pulseaudio and replaced it with ALSA. The situation is same here and nothing comes up under messages in the kernel log viewer. The fact that is crashes in both the operating systems make me wonder whether the issue is with hardware and not a software issue. I am inclined to believe it is my power supply unit causing the frequent crashes. My system is as follows:
I have 2 fans connected and my psu is arctic power 500w. Please guys help me out in figuring this problem out and finding a solution.AMD Phenom II x4 955 black edition
