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.

Hi Tom,
I do have a working backup. Do you think I should reinstall the system?
That might solve the problem for me (as I have tried in VirtualBox). But it
doesn't help others that might have that problem, too ...
Best regards,
Karsten
