Computer shutting down

[Peter]

Thanks for all the ideas. The matter has been resolved. The computer shut
down (went into hibernation I guess) when it was set to never sut down and
maimum time for the screensaver to kick in. I changed the screensaver to
kick in after 15 mins and this seems to have solved the problem. Also the
screen was freezing at various times-usually after an hour and this has been
solved too! At the same time I installed the latest kernel version for edgy
eft so this might have had something to do with it..
Has anyone any other theory or do you think this is a bug that should be
reported?
Peter
