ctrl-alt-backspace is a hotkey sequence on SiS chipsets.
Older SiS BIOSes had the habit of powering down the system
entirely when you hit this sequence.
You are lucky: your system just enters the power save mode
which is OK. 
With version 4.3 you can remap the sequence you use to
power down X so you don't have to use the hotkey sequence.
