In your initial posting you don't say if it is synaptic that crashes or the 
whole system, of course I am assuming you are referring to the whole 
system, in which case I must ask, at the point of crash; does the system 
freeze and refuse to respond, does the screen go dark or some other color, 
does the system go into reboot, or refuse to reboot?  I am not trying to be 
annoying, but all these things mean something.  If the system gos into 
reboot, it could be receiving a stray command from one of the update 
scripts, if it refuses to boot, could be a bad entry in the boot mgr file, 
if it freezes, there could be drivers trying to load that are incompatible 
with some of your hardware, or many other things.  In order to try and 
help, I need to know more specifics.  Please post back with more info on 
what exactly is happening, when it happens and how it happens.

Remember: Linux is the perfect operating system.
