Ubuntu Crashes

I have YET to get Ubuntu to be stable on my PC. It consistently crashes while using Transmission, and now, it crashes even when Transmission is just running (or anything is running) after awhile. I'm lucky to get 8 hours or so of up time.

Any help on trouble shooting my crash?

My System Log has this as the last thing it sees before crash:

Do you mean the kernel crashes?
Can you still access the console (ctrl+alt+F1/2/3/4) once the crash happens (in the GUI?)?

I dunno?(Kernel)
It JUST happened again right now (or rather within the last hour or whatever).

My PC is just completely locked up. Numlock/Caplocks/nothing works. Screen is blank, completely locked up. I can hold the power button to power off, then try again.
So I can't access the console or anything until after I restart the PC if that helps?

I'm also interested in what "crash" means. I wonder if you're hittingna section of bad memory.

Explained above, I could be? I'll run a memtest or whatever with the GRUB 2. Hopefully it's something that simple because RAM is super cheap. I mean, I could just purchase RAM/mobo/CPU all over again, just trying to prevent that $100-150 purchase for it all.
 
So, you got hard lockups.
Fun things!

If RAM checks out OK, then I would try a different kernel version, though, it could be driver related as well.
 
I didn't have much luck getting Ubuntu 14 working right on my laptop, either. It randomly launches to a black screen when it tries to bring up the GUI.

and the link you posted goes to *nix Software. Not operating system. If this is for Microsoft only why is there also a "software for Windows" forum?

so you are saying that Linux is software and not an operating system?

Take a look through that forum and you'll see it is where the questions about the Linux OS in all its forms are asked.

But please...you and others feel free to continue to play semantics with yourselves.
