I did a hardware reset. What is the 3 finger kill?

You've never heard of <crtl><alt><delete> as the three-finger kill?

At any rate, it sounds to me as though you have a hardware problem *sigh*. Since you rebooted, and it did the std. fsck (I would hope), then you might try taking the system down, and running memtest86.

Let me note that I spent months resolving my wife's system, which had the same thing - it would freeze, mostly with a screensaver on, but sometimes while using it. Turned out to be the video card.

My server decided to crash about 10pm last night. It just locked up.
I
came in this morning and the console was unresponsive, no virtual
terminal, nothing. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything either.
Admittedly I am pretty new to linux, and I don't know what other logs I
can check.

How did you restart it - the three-finger kill, or did you need to do a
hardware reset?
