My recent installation 10.10 on my laptop keeps freezing/crashing on start-up after working perfectly for one day.
The system just freezes, like a screenshot, and a restart is required. It happens directly after login or just as any application is selected.
Nothing new has been installed. I have just moved from XP.
Will a system restore fix this like in windows? like i said, nothing new has been installed.
help is greatly appreciated
No, assuming you are a new linux users and didn't changed any setting on your systems that would turn it unstable, no, a reinstall (there is no system restore option) will not help.
You will need to troubleshoot the issue.
Switch to a text console with: CTRL + ALT + F1 login, check the contents of the files under /var/log, there maybe an error related to the hang.
