Htpc crash every time it is left on idle.

I have set up my htpc with a quite minimal arch install. It runs xbmc-standalone in an x-session, no DE or WM installed. EVery time it is left on idle, it crashes - aka total freeze.

The ssh-session i have open does not die immediatly, but it stops responding (cant type or anything in it), and if I leave the htpc on, it dies eventually. Trying to open a new ssh-session results in:
"ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.102 port 22: No route to host"

The Wiimote I have connected using cwiid says it is still connected, but pressing something doesnt wake it up. The TV will say "no signal" on the HDMI input.

It runs xbmc-standalone launched from .xinitrc. X is launched from inittab
Inittab:

x:5:respawn:/bin/su tv -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>&1"

.xinitrc:

exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone

I have a nvidia on board graphics card, and nvidia drivers from repo.

The strange thing is, there is no errors in xorg.log, an nothing in any of the other log files I have looked at in /var/log. Not just no errors, but no nothing. They're empty. I just can't understand what's going on. oO

I have had errors in xorg.log one time, suggesting it is the nvodoa driver as far as I can understand, but usually there are no erors at all.

But thats just one time.

I don't know if this is at all related, but it won't shut down properly either. shutdown -P now just makes it go into single user mode (press ctrl+d screen), but it dosn't turn off.

If it is not left idle, however, it runs doessn't crash I'm kind at a loss here. Anyone wanna help me debugging or pointing me in the right direction?
