1 by chance are you using fglrx of the ati-drivers>8.42.2?! it has a memory
2 leak bug that makes your pc crash after you've been using opengl stuff
3 (firefox, amarok, and other apps usually use it) if your is an opengl
4 screensaver then that's probably a cause of this.
5 i'm using the latest kernel without these problems, but i'm avoiding using
6 opengl screensaver or letting firefox or amarok running when i'm not at the
7 pc.
8 the second stuff: have you not set the automatic hibernation or the
9 automatic standby by chance and don't remember to have done it?
