System just turned off

[Wade Smart-2]

20090704 0904 GMT-5

Just a few minutes ago I lost control of my computer.

I was watching a dvd and I started Google Earth to look up a location.
Google Earth came up, I saw Thunderbirds email notification in the
bottom corner pop up, then the screen went blank and my monitor turned
on a off about 8 times. Not the screen, but that little ticking sound
you hear when a monitor gets a signal from the pc. I finally had to kill
the machine and reboot.

I just sent through the syslog and this is the only thing I see today
that might be odd:

Jul  4 08:58:12 wadesmart init: tty4 main process (5050) killed by TERM
signal

ive had that happen also, although very few and far between. The solution for me was to completely shut down my computer and boot it back up. Everything worked fine after that. Can you still get a gui after rebooting?

Yes, and Im on it now and have been. This is the first time its ever
happened. And it could be that Im using 100% cpu and 100% ram with seti,
browsers, a movie playing, google earth, and graphics apps open. I may
have just over loaded the system.

Thanks

I had this happen on 9.04. Turned out to be overheating caused by the
video driver regressions in Jaunty. I was streaming a TED video at full
screen. Never happened on previous versions, and I'm avoiding that
scenario until the video issues are fixed.

Well, I just had something else happen.

I was watching the training dvd using VLC (same as before) with only
Opera, Thunderbird, a Tomboy note and gedit open and my screen kinds
studdered a bit and then all the apps had a weird look to them. They
werent smooth - they were edgy. Reminds me of going from XP default
theme and turning off all the nice stuff - you get that hard looking
windows 95/98 looking desktop.

A error popped up really fast about bonobo had failed - or something
similar.

This is from the sys logs from that point in time:
Jul  5 10:40:43 wadesmart init: tty1 main process (6523) killed by TERM
signal
Jul  5 10:40:45 wadesmart gdm[6306]: GLib-CRITICAL:

nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is

Im shutting down my computer now to open it up and make sure there is
nothing blocking or covering anything. (a mouse maybe :D) (just joking).

Im running 8.04 but that doesnt mean Im not all of the sudden having a
similar problem.

What is a TED video?
