Hi guys.
Since few months I'm experiencing tremendously irritating problem in Ubuntu. System, after about 5 - 10 minutes after startup is very unstable. It produces a lot of "System has experienced problem" errors (typical Gnome error windows), Thunderbird and Firefox crashes all the time, etc. Sometimes even VLC is no running properly.
After those 5 - 10 minutes, everything seems to stabilize and no crashes occurs. I have no idea where to start looking for the cause of this behavior.
Can it be a SSD problem?
GPU?
Ubuntu itself?
64 bit?
Gnome 3 / Unity?
I'm using Gnome 3 for my everyday work but I've tested it on Unity and Thunderbird and Firefox are still unstable for those first few minutes.
I would be obliged for any ideas how to investigate this problem. If you need any more details, some dumps or results of some checking - I will of course post it here. I am desperate to found a source of this problem.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 13.04 64bit but the same problem was with 12.10 64bit.
