Just Give Me the Beans!
When my ubuntu is booted up, it usually works okay. I do occassionally have freeze or an unexpected reboot but when i turn my computer off for the night and then start it up the next morning it freezes during the boot process. After trying to reboot it a dozen times (including entering and exiting setup), i can eventually get it fully booted. From then on I usually dont have a big problem until the following day when the vicious cycle repeats itself.

Same problem here, I usually have to boot in recovery mode and repair broken packages. !!

how do you boot in recovery mode and repair passages??? Also, why bother with Ubuntu if all these problems are present
Way Too Much Ubuntu
The usual thing to do for Linux freezes is the same thing I recommend for Windows freezes. Run memtest and check your memory.

If the freezes happen during the bootup process you can click details to see which component freezes. For instance if the network interface is being brought up and it starts looking for an ip-address and it can not be found it will wait quiet some time before it gives up.
Otherwise random freezes are usually due to hardware failure

also when it freezes my caps lock and scroll lock lights blink.....i have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop with an ATI Radeon (i think) video card. I just replaced the hard drive (had windows on old hard drive) and have new ram on order. i also occassionally get a kernel panic screen when booting up and something about sync and try init
