Some people have run into a blue-screen freeze-on-boot after upgrades to Leopard. The solutions to that might help solve the sudden logout. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1545

same problem except it will want to restart my whole system, and it gives me that little grey box like it does when it crashes

Just happened to me using Excel; was on with Apple tech support and they blamed Microsoft after doing a disk utilities scan of my hard drive and finding nothing. Is everyone using Office 2004? I wonder if that’s the problem.

happened right now… Safari + Firefox + Opera + Terminal + Excel… just switching back and forth… trying to open new safari tab… blue screen. logout… the funny thing… i still have terminal processes ssh’ing into different servers running, but i can’t access them anymore, the associated window (like all others) is gone it seems… the processes are still there though…

Anyone else? i also googled this thread—before it happened, Excel became unresponsive and I couldn’t edit a spreadsheet cell and then boom I was logged-out. 2008 Mac Pro 2 x 4 cores 2.8 GHz.

hi! this JUST happened to me… i’m on 10.5.2 on a macbook pro with 2GB of factory RAM. i was running dreamweaver, itunes and streaming from itunes radio, mysqld_safe, a ruby on rails app (mongrel invoked by script/server on port 3000), firefox, textedit…

i lost a little bit of work but nothing too critical… i specifically switched to mac from windows because i did not want to go through blue screens of death again… my finder turned blue and i was logged out. that was the fastest log out i have ever seen. also the applications when re-launched re-launched immediately, also the fastest ive experienced when logging in from a reboot, cold start, or just regular log in…

very weird… is this starting to be a wide problem?

Hi,

I had the same problem a couple of times. Every time this happened, I was doing user switch. So, this is really bad that when I switch to other user, I 'auto logout' myself.

I can not find anyone talking about this on the Apple supporting forum. I wonder how 'popular' this problem is.

I just installed the "new 10.5" Brother DCP - 7020 scanner driver - now after rebooting all I get is the login flash blue screen back to login over and over again ....

It was functioning fine with 10.5.2 iMac G5 before installing the scanner driver ...

not seeing the benefits of Leopard ....

anyone else see this

Of course brother is blaming Apple et visa versa
