Hi Christopher Thank you for getting back to me. I am sorry for taking up your time because I now think this problem may have been due to a faulty hard drive.
Since I replaced that drive with a much newer 1Tb drive about a month ago, reinstalling Ubuntu, this problem has not recurred. May I take this opportunity to say how impressed I am with Ubuntu. I have a relatively old HP pc which had been running pretty well with Windows 10 - until a huge Microsoft automatic "upgrade" in December basically rendered my pc useless. I had their online remote diagnostics and supervised reinstallation of Windows, but all to no avail. It just kept crashing. Now I am back up and running with Ubuntu. Everything works and it is stable Thank you to you and all the Ubuntu community. Best wishes Hamish On 06/02/18 21:21, Christopher M.
