Hi Justin, As suggested by someone on this list, I am tempted to believe that you have ran out of "space". It could be your HDD partition or memory. Have you checked how much free RAM you have when you run X? Do a "free -m".Make sure you have sufficient swap space enabled, might just help.
Good Luck.
