Some people above have mentioned TeamViewer 8. This is probably the cause in my case.

I installed TeamViewer a couple of days and have had a number of instances of this crash. This normally happens either when nothing else is happening (such as shortly after booting the machine and logging in) or when starting TeamViewer.
I have also experienced the system hanging on shutdown on three occasions.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (upgraded from my original installation of 11.10). Prior to installing TeamViewer Ubuntu had never crashed.
