Thank you so much for all your help!!
Looks like I am running Ubuntu 13.10
In reviewing dmesg I see the following:
(I do not know what to look for so these are the things that jumped out at me)
[ 0.000000] *BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 32M num_reg: 10 lose cover RAM: -16M
[ 0.000000] *BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 64M num_reg: 10 lose cover RAM: -16M
[ 0.000000] gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 1G num_reg: 10 lose cover RAM: 0G
[ 0.000000] *BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 2G num_reg: 10 lose cover RAM: -1G
There is a lot of the above.
[ 0.000000] No NUMA configuration found
[ 0.000000] Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000021e5fffff]
[ 0.000000] No AGP bridge found
[ 0.133742] ACPI: No dock devices found.
[ 0.155004] acpi PNP0A08:00: Disabling ASPM (FADT indicates it is unsupported)

Issued command "java -version"
This is the output:
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* default-jre
* gcj-4.6-jre-headless
* gcj-4.7-jre-headless
* openjdk-7-jre-headless
* openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

At thsi point I am unsure how to proceed.
Thank you so much for all your help!!

Check what java you're using (java -version), might try a sun/oracle version if not using one already. Also check what devices you have, and what dmesg says. That sounds like hardware is flaky, and I've had that with various usb/pci devices over the years. Video drivers too.
Pay attention to what apps are doing at the moment when things
crash, like invoking video or sound. I use 13.10 kubuntu at work,
and it's mostly ok to use, if not for certain annoyances as well
around active directory integration, but not crashing.
I did once with a plantronics savi headset that invoked itself as
a usb sound device, but also as a hid device spewing something
xorg didn't like, took a xorg.d/.conf to ignore the events and
device to keep the desktop from freezing when anything hit the
sound device. Sounds like yours with skype perhaps (look at
pulseaudio logs for this), or probing a video camera when they
init presence of devices. Otherwise sounds like your java might
suck, or the ver of office.
