Enable SSH on the laptop. Next time it does it instead of shutting it down, SSH to it from another computer and check the logs first. When you're done looking for clues, you can also reboot or shutdown the laptop cleanly instead of guessing where the icons are. The first rule of fixing computers is "gather more information". Cheers
But, once I do get it restarted, by whatever method, won't the logs still be available? I have not had much to do with logs, but I thought they were kept available for some time. So if I look at the logs now, won't they include a report on what went on at the time?
