GNOME 3.2 is very unstable on my PC. While running it just stops responding. I don't know why this kind of thing happens, please help.

P.S:- I don't use classic GNOME 3.2

When it stops responding, does the cursor still move?

Does pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 still switch you to a console view?

And what kind of video card are you using?

Perhaps the problem is that none of us have a clue as to what your problem is, other than it's "unstable". Hey, everything is unstable in some way or another. Try to be a bit more descriptive rather than waiting for someone to come take hold of your hand and guide you through your problems.

It was pretty unstable for me, too, so I don't use it. Then, after having shutdown issues with Unity due to a problem with the AMD/ATI accelerated graphics driver, I removed it and use the standard driver, which works fine for me, and shuts down fine.

But I found that Gnome 3 shell worked fine with the standard driver, too. But I still don't use it, because I think it sucks badly.

This is what I get when I run the command sudo lshw -C video

Yes, the cursor still moves and I have not tried the other thing. I will try it soon and post here.
