hi, i've been using linux for some time now, i've used ubuntu, suse, fedora and now, arch. and sorry for my english by the way, but i'm not a native english speaker.
With the help from some tutorials i managed to setup my system nicely in my eeepc 1000HE, all works fine but one thing. It doesn't really interferes that much with my work but it's still anoying.
I have my system completely up-to-date and the latest stable release with slim login manager and lxde by the way.
The issue now:
After about 2 hours using my computer, i start getting some flashes. The screen just goes black for some miliseconds and when that happens i already now what's coming next. 10 minutes later the X just stops. The screen goes completely black and i'm able to do nothing. It also happens if i turn on the computer and come back a couple of hours later and start using it, even if the computer is just turned on doing nothing during that time.
I tried ctrl+alt+f2, login and restart x.. No can do! i reboot the computer on the terminal and i have another 2 hours without any problems at all... strange -.-'
I browsed for a solution and i found nothing, do any of you guys have a clue on what's happening?
thank you in advance.

What about your logs? Especially /var/log/everything.log

Sounds like it could be a hardware problem. Try a live USB distro to verify?

no clue on what's happeing. xorg.0.log provides no usefull info also
I tried both ubuntu and fedora for a while before arch on this computer without any problems at all (except a driver not working in fedora and ubuntu beeing slow as hell). Also windows xp worked fine. it's not hardware, but just to be sure i tried backtrack (which was the only image i had avaliable) for a while today without problems. any other guesses?
if you want i can paste more logs
