Hello everyone,
New to using linux and everything; I was just getting into the flow of things, had everything set up like I want it, and then I went to add foxyTunes to firefox so I could control Amarok and the system randomly logged out and displayed the log in page!
So i logged back in, and everything started to load up again, and as soon as it was done, it logged out again!
I have rebooted, tried KDE failsafe mode, as well as Default, but to no avail. Failsafe mode brings up the white terminal box. I can however log into root, which is how I am posting this message.
Could anyone offer any help with this?
Thank you.

your symptoms sound like X crashing, most often a driver problem.
Anything in ~/.xsession-errors ?

Rex,
Thank you for your input!
I do notice my graphics card fan comes on full power during the log out; however I am unable to locate the file you named, I am looking in /etc/X11/ and it's subfolders but to no avail. Could you please tell me whereabouts I might find it?
Thank you !

Hi Marvin,
I tried running "less .xessions-errors" in konsole in both home directory and root, but it says file not found. I am not familiar enough with linux to know how to access the other user's files, I assume there will be a x log in there as the crashes take place with that user?
Is there a way to restore the x file? I know i have a copy of it saved in my documents in that user, as I was having trouble saving the x file as it was in use. This meant everytime i rebooted I went back to one monitor, and had to enable the second monitor again.
Thanks .
I think i managed to reset x using
system-config-display --noui --reconfig --output=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
after logging into the user in Failsafe.
This did not help :(

Have you attempted to create a new user to see if that changes the performance. An old prank was to put a "logoff" command in someones bash profile.

Just a quicky: First, the tilde (~ ) character is Unix/Linux shorthand for home directory. The command should be: less .xession-errors
The ~/.xsession-errors is created when you start the X Window system, and is cumulative. It can contain a lot of data. Most likely it will contain a clue that can help you solve your problem.
I don't know what you mean about the "x" file.
