What should I do when Ubuntu freezes?

Have been looking everywhere to find a solution to this problem but have yet to find a solution. I am running 64 bit 12.04 LTS on a AMD C-50 Dual core 6 gigs ram AMD Ratheon HD 6250.

The problem I am experiencing is when ubuntu gets to the wallpaper screen it will sometimes freeze soon after the the image appears or shortly there after gnome loads locking up keyboard and mouse. When I try to log in via the console the same thing happens (this is as ubuntu is loading).

At the moment the system is set to auto login previously it was set to ask for password but it did the same thing. Switching to from lightdm to gdm did nothing to alleviate the issue.

I have never had so many issues with ubuntu I have to say 12.04 is the most buggy version yet.

I discovered the real problem. It was AMD Catalyst. I have removed it since I have no need for 3d graphics on my system. There is another solution however it is found here.

http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/06/install-amd-ati-catalyst-126-display.html enter link description here

I tried this but I ended up with a watermark saying unsupported hardware. I was unable to remove it so instead I removed catalyst completely.

To fix the resolution problem I simply edited my xorg.conf file and added the right resolution for my monitors. Have not had it freeze since doing this.
