Stupid error

Don't know what error this is, all I know is it's pretty annoying.


It always happens like this :

I Ctrl + Alt + Del my system - go for my breakky / loo break / lunch break - come back, Ctrl +Alt + Del - tada! It welcomes me back as if telling me 'sorry, no entry' and I get into the viscious cycle of 'OK' then back to Crtl-Alt-Del prompt

What's wortst - the first time I got this error was just merely after 2+ months (or even less) of getting my brand new E6400 work laptop

Called up Help Desk

"Can you restart?"

"I can only force it to shutdown then turn it back on, but that's not the point - I have many processes going on prior"

"Ok, but currently there is no other choice but to restart"

"So what happened? What caused that error?"

"<speaks in a gebrish-like language along the lines of 'ad hoc technical fault'>"

"So what do I do if it unfortunately happens again?"

"Then you will need to restart - actually, there are some users who totally could not restart their system at all"

(at this point, I'm not sure if I'm expected to express a sigh of relief knowing that my restart worked?)
