Hello all!

Recently I install Ubuntu8.04(32bit) in my laptop(DELL INSPIRON) which already have window vista(ORIGINAL), by shrinking out about 10GB space for Ubuntu.
After installed Ubuntu it just can use for 5 minutes then whole computer hang, initially i thought was screen saver problem, but after i tried for many TIMES, it's not screen saver problem, it hang SUDDENLY(5 minutes) when I was still using it.I can't even use restart key, I can just press on/off button to shutdown my laptop.

Can someone help me solve my problem?
THANKS!Given that Ubuntu 9.04 is already out, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to fix 8.04. I'd hazard a guess it's related to power saving or some low-level hardware interrupt, but there are so many different distributions out there that trying a different distro is probably much easier than trying to fix this one.

Alternative, you could try posting on the Ubuntu forums in case someone else has had a similar problem.Thanks for yr advice! I will go Ubuntu forum ask for solution. You can also try running it as a VM or if your computer is capable and you're willing to spend $50 or so you can install it to an external USB drive and boot off of that.No real need to bump a two week old thread, with no recent ACTIVITY from the opening poster...
