My new laptop (Toshiba A70) is seriously weirding me out. It seems to be turning off (randomly?) while in KDE. I cannot distinguish any patterns uptime-wise, nor is it an actual power failure. (Nothing else dies, battery prescence is confirmed with hardware lighting, and this lighting indicates a full charge. I also see no real connections between what I am doing when the computer turns off. Once, I was browsing the web in Firefox, and tonight, I was playing around with the XScreensaver settings. I have noticed, that it seems to only happen while in KDE, although Im not 100% sure. Also, I have the KDE laptop battery monitor set to do *nothing* if the battery should reach a warning or critical power value. This has happened to be about 6 times over the last few days. I also just got KDE emerged, so I can say its been happening probably since it has been up. I have left it on for extended amounts of time in the regular CLI though, without any problems. I can't really think of anything else to say, but I should mention that it **seems** to do a safe shutdown, but Im not sure. The power is cut rather instantly, and I am not swished off into a system reboot message. When I start it up again, ReiserFS claims the file system is clean, and goes on to replay the journal as usual. Do any of you have any thoughts on this? Thanks a lot!
