It seems, every Monday and Thursday, my Dell Mini 10 with Ubuntu 9.10 (32bit) crashes. The desktop slows to a crawl, applications stop working, and the system powers off. When I try to turn it on, I get past the Circle of Friends symbol, and then I get a terminal that says,
"Mount of filesystem failed. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry. -standard root terminal information here-"
When I hit CONTROL-D, I get this message.
"mountall start/starting
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
swapon: /dev/disk/by-uuid/57c101a9-887a-45ea(bunch more random jumble): swapon failed: Device or resource busy.
Mountall: swapon (Same string, this time with a [799] at the end.) terminated with status 255
mountall: problem activating swap. (string of numbers/letters. Still the same.)
/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
/dev/sda1: Inodes that were a part of a corrupted orphan list found.
/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
mountall: fsck / [797] terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /

Mount of filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.

If the string is important, I'll post it here. If not, that's fine.
I'm on a Dell Mini 10 Netbook, running Ubuntu Desktop Edition 9.10, 32bit. This doesn't happen when I install software, it seems... It just does it randomly. Before it happens, my desktop lags and shuts down... But there's no Kernel Panic.
If you can help, I thank you. And if you can't help, but think you know why this keeps happening, please tell me.

EDIT: SOLVED: I can't thank you enough. My system's back up and running, chugging along like it normally is. And in doing this, I've learned some useful skills. Again, I can't thank you enough.
