Lets check the file system to make sure there aren't any errors.
- boot to the GRUB menu
- choose Advanced Options
- choose Recovery Mode
- choose root access
- type
sudo fsck -f / - run fsck more than once if there were errors
- type
reboot
To check the hard disk for hardware errors...
- boot the Ubuntu Live DVD
- choose
Try Ubuntu - start the
Disksapplication from the Unity dashboard - click on the "hamburger" icon in the top-right corner of the Disks window and select
SMART Data & Tests - review the data, and run the tests
- if you get/see errors, you may have a hard disk problem
If this doesn't help, you're going to need to reinstall Ubuntu. Boot the Ubuntu Live DVD and choose Install Ubuntu. Choose reinstall, and make sure to uncheck the format partition selection, and it'll keep your existing /home directory.
