Help!
recently we have had continual problems when perfroming system updates with our PC. after installing updates, and rebooting, the screen would go blank / black and as it was not completely booted, it would not allow us to remote in. this first occured when we upgraded to ubuntu 9.10, and so we formatted and installed 9.04 - this had worked well until about a month ago.
last night i had to format and reinstall again as an upgrade had caused this to happen again.

we are realy unsure what to do, we have tried to pick and choose the upgrades we feel may affect the PC, but essentially we dont know enough to know what to avoid :( please help: specs below(as copied from a website)
