Any clues as to how and try and track this down. Tom te tom te tomI'm guessing that your backup logs overwrote your "real" logs and wiped the evidence of what happened.I read Toms message as Taook a backup when he next booted the Laptop and not Restoring from a backup PC stops dead == No logs because a stopped CPU can't write logs. Hardware or software problem? Who knows. It happens from time to time on my desktop but it's almost always when I'm running Shotwell to import videos from my camera, (so now I run that on a laptop and copy the files over) - is there some issue with the FUSE filesystem and SATA/SSD writes or... ? Power supply, overheating, or ... Who knows. GordonGordon's reply triggered a memory. I had this on two laptops and and one desktop machine some years ago. All machines failed in a couple of days. It was due to overheating. Cleaning out all machines, (de-fluff the fans and filters cured it.
