Oh, like the whole OS? That sounds like a hardware/driver problem then. Make sure you have the latest video drivers first, and reinstall them even if you have the latest. (I've seen such problems with nVidia drivers.)

I ordered more ram today from Best Buy on line. I can pick it up at the store Monday. That sure can't hurt. I vacuumed out the computer this afternoon and it was dirtier than I had realized. There was a lot of dirt at the plugins for the ram so I took the ram out and vacumed that out as well. It seams that was not the problem. Thought this might cause shorting or over heating. Heikki I also ran the mem test for about an hour as you suggested and saw nothing there. So for now I guess I will have to wait until I get some memory. I'll report in and let you know what' happening as soon as I try the memory on Monday. I also ran the command you gave me and read the log. I will work at that more in the morning. I need to go on line and do some reading so that I may be able to make more sense out of what is there. I will also render some video to crash the machine again so I can look at the log without anything more on it. Thanks ALL , Doug

OK, Problem solved I think? I vacumed out the computer and this time it would render 20 minutes of video, Better! There was still some dirt in it so I took it out to my workshop and blew it out with an air hose. About 30 lbs pressure, held the nozzle about 1 1/2 ft away, and out come a pile of dirt from behind everything. So air pressure it the trick with that. I tried it again and it rendered 35 minuets, much better. I still had the side cover of and remembered reading someplace that a computer runs cooler of all the sides are on it because it pulls the air through the electronics . I put the side on and rendered a whole video of 50 minutes. Just to see what would happen I rendered two videos at once, one Cinelerra and one on Pitivi after 30 minutes it was still running. I started open shot as well and began rendering on it so there were three running and that lasted about 30 seconds before Ubuntu crashed. So I think I may have learned something today. Maybe I'll have the some trouble tomorrow who knows but it looks good now? So I feel sure it was an overheating problem as suggested. I have more ram coming and that sure won't likely make it worse. Thanks all for the help and advice. Doug
