I'm not clear what this means:
	"and no other image is shown as a
	small vercital line in the middle of the page."
but wild guess: Maybe: Out of swap, process killed ?

Latest logs may give a clue, Probably slightly different on your
Linux, but on FreeBSD I would do:
	cd /var/logs
	ls -ltr *
	tail -F messages
then rescan & look at latest log entries for clues.
