Hi :) Yes, possibly. I guess you use synaptic to get a list of all currently installed programs? Linux systems are unlikely to crash.
A misbehaving application might possibly freeze or suddenly close but it shouldn't affect any other app and certainly should not cause the whole system to reboot. When stuff like that has happened to me it's been problems with the hard-drive (or with my install). GPartEd can check a partition for errors and ring-fence areas such as bad-blocks but you need to do that from a LiveCd/Usb. Hard-drives tend to go wrong either within the first couple of weeks or after many years. If it's within the first couple of weeks you might be able to return it for a replacement. If one program has frozen the system should allow you to use other programs quite happily in which case you could open a command-line, find the app's process number and then kill the app, eg ps aux | grep soffice Another way of checking problems with an app is to open the command-line and open LibreOffice and then see what output happened when the program crashed. I'm not sure how to pipe the output into a text-file so that you can collect that as a log even as the OS shuts-down.
