Hi Tony!

Look for warnings (WW) and errors (EE) and anything else you can find in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old.  Your hardware may be
unhappy due to a lack of memory or something a bit different on the buses.

Ones near the end of the log may be the most helpful.  You may do well to
google the message or parts thereof.

Good Hunting!

Tod
