Just a few minutes ago I lost control of my computer.

I was watching a dvd and I started Google Earth to look up a location. 
Google Earth came up, I saw Thunderbirds email notification in the 
bottom corner pop up, then the screen went blank and my monitor turned 
on a off about 8 times. Not the screen, but that little ticking sound 
you hear when a monitor gets a signal from the pc. I finally had to kill 
the machine and reboot.

I just sent through the syslog and this is the only thing I see today 
that might be odd:

Jul  4 08:58:12 wadesmart init: tty4 main process (5050) killed by TERM 
signal
