I had that once. The graphics card was overheating.
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.
Ubuntu user #33,200. Linux user #530,530
it can be due to a driver conflict or because you upgraded your kernel and need to reinstall the driver? Need more information. What version of ubuntu are you using? What is the graphics card be used and what driver are you using?

to find out graphics card there are several ways, one is to run this command within a terminal session
to find out what graphics driver you can try this commandCode:lspci
also, you can copy and paste the entire contents of this file /var/log/Xorg.0.log at pastebin and then paste the link here (forums don't like it when you paste a ton of code directly so that's what pastebin is for)Code:cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
