I have a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit PC that I upgraded to from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit quite some time ago. I've been noticing sporadic system hangs and I can't figure what exactly is causing it. The PC simply stops responding completely, and requires a system reset. Are there any logs that survive the reboot that might let me know what exactly caused the hang and what I can do to fix it?

If you have an older PC, try -noapic as a kernel boot parameter.
