Re: log out thing

Perhaps you're pressing Super(Windows)+x when you mean to press Control+x for "cut"? or Control+c for "copy"? I know my Windows key is tiny compared to my control and alt key and I'm lucky I haven't made this mistake.

It also happen to me without any particular reason. And I didn't mix up the buttons because my control button is not next to my super button. Any help?

Re: log out thing

i know the shortcut for W-x and i use it but that's not the case for this because when i W-x i get the popup window
in here it just randomly kicks me out, no window no nothing

Re: log out thing

If your computer overheats I think most system will halt/shutdown without warning as a safty precaution. This has happened to me on old computeres where dust have maybe accumulated on the airvent/cooling system. Cleaning thoose and remebering to not block the cooling vents will maybe solve you problem?
Try monitoring the temp. I think you can use something like sudo apt-get install lm-sensors for this

Re: log out thing

alexander,

Does the machine shut down/reboot or just log-out back to the GDM screen?

A shut-down would most likely be a thermal issue but just logging out could be a graphics driver or Xorg problem.
