Hard to say. Next time it happens you could try one or more of these steps:On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 08:55:56PM +0800, ganu MailList wrote:

--press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and see if you get back to the GUI login screen.
if that doesn't work, you could try:
--CTRL-ALT-F1 (or F2 or F3) which (if the machine isn't totally dead)
should take you to a text mode login screen. if so, you could log in
from there and do "shutdown -r now" to reboot the system.
--if it is on a LAN and you have another working computer, you could try
using SSH to log into it and if successful restart as in the item above.
--there are also various recipes for doing a relatively clean shutdown of
a non-responsive system involving the "magic sysreq" key. I don't happen
to have the details handy, but some googling for that phrase will surely
turn up many of them.
Good luck!
