I don't know what I did or what's causing this but X server keeps restarting itself randomly every few hours in my ubuntu (gnome)! I'm lost, i couldn't find any error messages in xorg's logs.

It's really annoying because if there's something im working and it's left unsaved then it will be lost.

help please
