OK, I was booted into LM18 and watching a web-based video, something I've done hundreds of times, including many times from this specific website. The video was in full-screen mode when it froze. I went to move the mouse and no cursor. I let it go for about a minute and then the next thing I know is it is rebooting as if I hit the reset button (flipped the power).

Booted up normally with not so much as a sniffle, but then again this is a first for me (call me lucky) so I am not really sure where to begin. First, how about my system config:

Is there something in the syslog I should be looking for that would shed light or give some sort of indicator as to where the problem began? The following bothers me, but that could be my ignorance elevating my paranoia:
