    Help,Ubuntu Crashed

    Ubuntu Crashed several times for unknow reasons

    Condition:
    when or after operating(copy or move or backup) Large files

    I think it must be kernel crashed, because Ctrl+SysRq+reisub didn't work anymore

    Hardware environment:
    I5 450M + ATI HD5430(with official driver) + 320G ATA TOSHIBA + HM55 chipset

    Software environment:
    Ubuntu X86 X64

    Waiting for kindly advice

    thanks...

    Do a small thing for me:

    Decribe what you are doing at the time of the crash, and things you noticed. Also upload /var/log/syslog here for us to peruse.

    Hopefully we can help!

    Try booting from the disk. See if you are able to move things there. Then you could wipe your hard drive and attempt to go from there. I would not do that immediately but that is an option.

    I use this for such things.It allows you to watch kernel messages
    A nice trick is to pipe dmesg to tail to watch any message that comes to dmesg. To do this, issue the command dmesg | tail -f and the last few lines of dmesg will remain in your terminal. Every time a new entry arrives it will be at the bottom of the “tail.” Keep this window open when doing heavy duty system administration or debugging a system.

    NightwishFan & tedygram311

    Thank you two kindly guys really

    I'm a newbie for Ubuntu

    since I used Ubuntu last week,I got system crashed many times a day, even during I used live CD bakup

    First time the Ubuntu crashed,I was browsing the web。I drew lesson from this,and after the first time crashed,I didn't do anything during file operating at all, but it still crashed,and I found when I operating large files,it happens 100% and never missed

    The files I operated is about 1G to 3G
    I mounted the / and /home as EXT4

    to NightwishFan:
    Before the last time it crashed I noticed that the 3rd CPU runs in 100% and others only 5%,and 1 second later,it crashed

    to tedygram311:
    I'm very sure that my hard disk is healthy and strong,but I'm not sure what about the drivers
    I won't wipe my hard disk anymore,for I had wiped it at least 10 times.

    I almost lost confidence with my Ubuntu

    I hope you can recognize what I wrote in my bad English
    Thanks again for help
