The exception to that is if a run-away process has consumed all the 
memory. Eventually the machine will stop responding.

If you have console access to the machine that should tell you what went 
wrong. Or check /var/log/messages (and dmesg) after rebooting. Look for 
"OOM" or "Out of memory".

If it isn't that, then you probably have a hardware fault as Peter said.

Cheers,
Tim.
