Hi Johannes,
Try booting with a CD only distro like Knoppix.
This will soon tell you whether it is software or hardware.
If you still get problems then it is definitely a hardware problem.
If not then something wrong with your current software install.
A place to start at least.
Knoppix has stuff for hardware testing as well I believe.

Hi all
I have a Lenovo thinkpad with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.00 Ghz with a GM
45 Chipset with 8 Gig of DDR III Ram
Since I installed 12.04 LTR my lappy has slowed down and there appears to
be memory issues, I am not able to open as many tabs as I was in the
previous release 11.04
Facebook jams up and I am unable to use Google DOCS, could someone please
suggest a way forward, and some diagnostic tests that I could run to pin
point the issue.
I have been considering getting an SSD drive and a new main board as one of
the USB ports is non functional.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have a mountain of
research and assessments to do.
Yours in Wellness

Computers and mobile devices become obsolete much quicker than other
consumer products, such as refrigerators and cars. Electronic equipment can
contain toxic and valuable materials which should not be simply put into
landfill. Before you buy a new computer, tablet or phone, look at the
options of what to do with the old one. Tom Worthington is author of the
free ebook "ICT Sustainability: Assessment and Strategies for a Low Carbon
Future": http://www.tomw.net.au/ict_sustainability/introduction.shtml
Tom just for fun (well not really, but for a consider this)
Your old computer uses much more energy than a new one. Powering the beast
creates much more CO2 than the new ones and save the environment (sic)
causes much more harm than binning it (hopefully decently)

PS my own pet hate, and I bet many have heard polies utter the oxymoron,
"sustainable growth"
