Hello,
--- snip ---
I ran 'fsck hda2' after booting into rescue mode. When fsck finished, it displayed the message "no corruption found", which I thought was odd. I was then able to boot normally into run level 5. But when I tried to copy some files (via the Gnome file manager), the system crashed again. I do recall that when I did the last YOU update, there were some Gnome file system changes.
Is there anything else I can try?
My laptop was exhibiting the same symptoms a few months ago. It had a bad solder on the mainboard. Whenever I did something that caused the laptop to heat up, such as reading/writing data, the machine would shutdown. The abrupt shutdown was a failsafe to protect the CPU. It was not repairable. One month out of warranty. Thanks Toshiba!
I sincerely hope your laptop is not having the same type of issues. And I hope you have your data backed up.

Thanks very much for your help.
The laptop is only 4 months old, and I've already had to replace the CD/DVD reader. HP gave me very hard time, because they insisted that it was a software problem (i.e., Linux) rather than a hardware problem. After I complained, they finally agreed to repair the laptop - and they confirmed that it was in fact a hardware problem.
I sure hope that this isn't a hardware problem or I'll be fighting with HP again.......
