It's the first time I ask something here and I'm a newbie in this Ubuntu world. If I don't explain myself in a proper way, please tell me and I'll try to provide more details.
Today I've been working with 12.04 and I got 3 crashes. The three of them have randomly occurred. I couldn't do anything, just to move the mouse but nothing worked. Then, I entered in Console Mode and I couldn't even log in or use CTRL+ALT+DEL, every time I hit Enter I got this message:
[ xxxx.xxxxxx] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector xxxxxxxxx
(The Xs are numbers). I had to use RSEIUB trick to reboot my pc, it's been the only thing that has worked.
I really want to know what is causing these crashes and I hope you could help me. For more details these are my PC's specs:
Processor: 2x AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor
Memory: 4049MB
GPU: nvidia geforce 8600
