Public bug reported: My menu applets crashed in this order: - disk mounter - session-manager - gnome updater
then I noticed the heatsink to be putting out really hot air - and the memory usage to be at 100% - when really using only about 15%. I turned off my laptop so I wouldn't melt the mobo, and when I rebooted I had several filesystem errors. I manually did fsck in safe mode and fixed all the errors.
