Here is a typical crashing session: I leave the computer on idle for an hour or so. When I return, one or more applications have crashed. dmesg will show a segfault on some apparently random location, and the system will remain highly unstable. Usually, even halting the system will not be possible. The next reboot will produce several errors on the hard disk, which usually need manual intervention. After some repairing, the system then runs stable again. Can this be a software problem? I tried to disable all sleep/hibernate functionality in KDE, but maybe I'm missing something there. Maybe it's the hardware, but what kind of hardware issue could cause these symptoms? Any ideas anyone?
