Hello all.
I will try to include as much information as I can about my problem, but I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of it owning the nature of the problem itself. I don't even know if this is the right place to report this, but if someone points me in the right direction I will post there.
I have a new Toshiba Satellite C665D-S5200. I first installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit version on it, but it didn't recognize my build-in wireless or Ethernet. *sigh* So I ended up downloading Super OS (11.04 64 bit amd) and installing via USB. It installed alright and found all my hardware without a hitch, even the AMD video card. I am dual-booting with Windows 7.
My problem is that Ubuntu has started to outright freeze. The first time was last night. I was playing a game on Facebook using Chrome, and it was a total lock-up. I had to hot-boot my machine. I rebooted into Ubuntu again, went back to Facebook to the game (again using Chrome), and it froze again. I figured it might be Chrome doing it, so I went into Win7 and fished my game then shutdown for the night.
Today I decided to submit a profile using Ubuntu's built-in system testing program. While doing that I was setting up my Ubuntu One account, and again my machine totally froze. Hot-booted and went back into Ubuntu to log into this forum, and when I clicked the link to take me here form the Ubuntu homepage, it froze yet again. I wasn't doing anything else at the time.
I have no problems with my laptop using Win7, so I don't think the freezes are hardware related. If they where, I'd return this thing in a heartbeat. It just seems to be Ubuntu. I could re-install of course, but I want to try and trouble shoot the problem first and see if it's a bug with Ubuntu that might as of yet be unknown. This laptop hasn't been on the market for a long time, and I don't think there are many people with my model using Ubuntu.

I didn't bother to include the software information, that's all Windows stuff, and took out the information for virtual drives and such, again Windows stuff.
