Windows XP works fine on my desktop of almost 8 years old having 512 mb ram and intel 2.6 ghz processor. I switched into Lubuntu but the screen crashes if I open it's software centre or browse the internet. It also crashes while opening multiple files at once. Can anyone help to fix this? The screen is okay while small memory tasks are done but the screen crashes eventually .

The version of Lubuntu you are using died (reached End of Life) yesterday: (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2016/07/28/ubuntu-15-10-wily-werewolf-end-of-life-reached-on-july-28-2016/)

Given you only have 512MB of Ram I would suggest installing Lubuntu 14.04 or Xubuntu 14.04 instead of their 16.04 counterparts.

If I were you I'd buy a new used computer for a couple hundred dollars that was 100 times better than your current setup and could run Ubuntu 16.04 / 16.10.

  • Lubuntu 14.04 should be lighter than Lubuntu 15.10.
