Thanks to all who wrote giving me suggestions. I was pleasantly surprised
when I came into work this morning and the xmatrix screensaver was greeting
me running, and not having crashed my system! It turned out that the
problem was with acpi as Mark L. Kahnt suggested. I unloaded the module
yesterday, and stability to my system seems to have been restored.
Thanks again for all of your help.
Michael
