-When vital servers like the app server, the registrar or the input server crash, you won't see the usual crash alert. Instead the whole screen will be cleared white and a gdb session will be started, its output appearing directly on screen. Likely you will still be able to move the mouse, which will overwrite the white and gdb output on screen. Applications still running (like ProcessController or the clock in the Deskbar) might also draw over the debugger output on screen. Save for everything being more ugly and inconvenient basically the same applies as for [#ApplicationBugs application bugs]. Most importantly procure a back trace (`bt` command). You may need to take a picture of the screen with a digital camera, since you won't be able to copy the text anywhere.
-Depending on what exactly crashed, you can try to save a crash report on the Desktop with `save-report` and then press the power button once to try shutting cleanly down. If that worked, you should find the crash report on the Desktop after the next boot-up.
