So the first time, I left the computer alone and didn't even have any applications running other than emesene, cairo dock, and maybe amarok. I came back and the comp was frozen and these horizontal bars covered the cursor and the entire cairo dock area. I turned the comp off, left it for 5-10 minutes and restarted without any problems.
Next time, a few hours later, I left the comp running with the same applications. and again it froze but this time there was horizontal lines across the cursor, not cairo. (See pic, sorry bout the ****** phone cam quality)

I turned it off, waited and restarted, at the ubuntu splash loading screen, there was some kind of check and the % was counted down in the bottom right corner, then it just froze (I think it finally reached 100%).
I turned it off, waited even longer, restarted and now during the splash screen there were red horizontal lines everywhere and the screen was flickering.

I turned it off again, waited even longer than before, and it started fine without problems.
It occasionally freezes with no particular symptoms. Sometimes the screen flickers when viewing a full screen streaming video (Like watching allsp fullscreen). This is the first time I saw these horizontal lines.
I'm using ubuntu 8.04 on an Thinkpad R60 w/ a Radeon x1400 graphics card (If this problem is related to the card)
