I have a Gazelle (gazp6) running Ubuntu 12.04.
I can't find any information on google about this so I'm guessing it's not that common. This is the second time this has happened to me and it was the same circumstances oddly enough. Here is the first time:

Basically, I have a dual monitor set up and once in a blue moon I have take my computer with me and switch it back to a single monitor set up using the nvidia-settings tool. This is the second time that I have switched it from a dual monitor setup to a single monitor setup and upon the next restart, the file system is in read only mode. I can't find much information about this but it literally has only happened directly after changing monitor configurations. People have suggested that it is a corrupt hard drive. This computer is only 6 months old. I also have a Windows partition on it that works just fine so it's definitely a linux thing. This is my work computer, I need it to do things like have a roof and eat food. I need to know a few things.
Am I the only one who has experienced this?
Is this computer no longer safe to work on, as this keeps happening?
Can anyone at System76 let me know if there is any warranty I can rely on over six months after purchase?
Am I up a certain creek without a paddle?
This is my second System76 and I have promoted the company every chance I get on reddit and various forums. Trust me, I'm a fan. At this point, however, I'm considering buying a new computer and to not have to worry about this and it's not going to be a System76. Two crashes in the first 6 months is not acceptable. Sorry if I'm a little harsh here but I just had to cancel a trip with friends because my computer crashed and I can't do the work I need to do. Instead I'm home trying to deal with this. I could use some help here.
