It doesn't appear to be CPU overheating. Here's what happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] katie]$startx info scrolls by really fast screen blinks to black, then blinks back info pops up with version & release date blah, blah, default settings using vt 7
waiting for x server to shut down
[EMAIL PROTECTED] katie]$
It sounds like your xinitrc is exiting. After startx starts the X server, it runs a script (usually .xinitrc in your home directory) which should launch the X application(s) of your choice. When this script exits, startx shuts down the X server.
The xinitrc script is usually structured to launch some programs as background processes, then run a final process in the foreground. The background processes don't matter, but when the foreground process exits, so does the xinitrc. This process is often a window manager.
So you need to inspect your xinitrc, see which program it's supposed to wait on, and figure out why this program isn't working any more.
