Hey guys, this is my first post here, so please excuse my n00b questions, but I have a problem and maybe you can help?

So, I have OS 10.6.7, and I am having random log-out events. Basically, I am in the middle of doing something (anything - loading program, etc) and I get the beachball, then get dumped back to the log-in screen. I checked the logs in console and it says - (this the most relevant stuff from what I can tell, but i'm no programmer)

END LOG SEGMENT

So... this seems to be utterly random. It can happen minutes from first login, or it can happen after i've been logged in for hours.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
