It might well be the X screensaver problem that others have mentioned.
If it isn't, before you leave your computer, press "Ctrl+Alt+F1". (You
can press "Alt+F7", with or without the Ctrl, to get back).
That will put you in console mode. There's a good chance you'll see
debugging messages when you come back.
