Good you're around and surfing!

Any other clues?


Does it crash for one specific website, or randomly?
Any other crashes at other times for anything else?

Aside: Just in case... Have you got any/all important personal
data/documents backed up onto another device?


Can you run a disk check?
Have you successfully run the updates for Ubuntu?


And just one wild guess...

The weather is rather hot at the moment, and your machine must have been
running for a good few years now... Is it choked up with dust and
perhaps overheating? (ALL the fans must be clean, including all of CPU,
GPU and PSU...)


Good luck,

Cheers,
Martin
