Dear Bryce,
Thank you for your email. Do you mean installing Karmic as an additional OS, or do you mean, running as a live OS from the CD only?  Once Karmic is runing what do I do?  Play an AVI wait for it to crash, re-start and then send you another bug report like before?

Please remember all of this is new for me, so the more information you provide me the quicker I will be able to help.
Regards,

> I installed Ubuntu 9.04 last Saturday (Dual boot) and ever since this problem occurs.  After a good few hours of PC being on, downloading torrents, the screen crashes [1st occasion with an Alt+Tab] and [2nd occasion whilst playing an AVI through VLC].
> 
> Although the screen hangs I can still move the mouse pointer but nothing can be done; also the keyboard seems to crash as trying Cortl+ALT+Del does not work.  Pressing the Nun Lock or Caps Lock key make no difference/lights don't change.  All dead, except for the mouse.
