Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
Seems a bit strange....<br>
<br>
Does it happen immediately on login, or after some other application
is run?<br>
<br>
Try running htop via ssh and putting it in tree view (F5)<br>
You can then search for the calculator process and if you are lucky
see what the parent process was.<br>
There are other view options for htop that may be helpful here as
well.<br>
<br>
Using ssh to do this has some side effects that may be useful.<br>
<ul>
<li>You can hopefully view the ssh terminal on a large screen with
lots of lines, so it's easier to see what is happening</li>
<li>When the system crashes, you can always see what was on the
console still (saved me more than once)</li>
<li>It may only be the GUI that crashes, you may still have full
control of the system via ssh.</li>
<li>htop will show you memory and cpu usage, so you will have more
info on what caused the crash.</li>
</ul>
<p>I can envisage this being caused by a number of things, including
a faulty keyboard or some device that is being seen as a keyboard
(if there is a hotkey configured on the system to start
calculator).<br>
It may be worth changing the keyboard/mouse and unplugging all
other peripherals and see if this fixes the issue.<br>
</p>
<p>Give us a little more information on what has happened on the
machine since boot until the crash.<br>
Also how quickly do the multiple calculators get opened?<br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
David G<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm having an issue where a process (calculator) will load to 84 times on
the desktop and cause the system to freeze.
Any idea how to find what is making this load?
