Another thing I just noticed: Usually when I turn the computer off the console
appears briefly. When I turn it off using System -> Log out -> Shut down there
is some scrolling text, just like when booting. When I turn it off using the
power button there is a static screen full of text with a blinking cursor at the
bottom. But after a freeze the only way to turn the computer off is the power
button, and there is no text, no cursor, just a black screen. It takes about the
same amount of time anywhichaway I do it though.
