Faulty RAM can give you random unexplained problems, perhaps like the 
ones you describe. Cryptography is one of the things that triggers many 
faults (failing a kernel compile is another good indicator). Ubuntu 
comes with Memtest (chosen att boot time in GRUB) - run a full set of 
tests and see what happens.

Check the most recent files in /var/log/ for any errors. In your case 
the computer reboots - check /var/log/dmesg, look just above the bootup 
messages.

Make sure you have enough disk space left by running 'df -h'.

Good luck!
