AFAIK If the xserver was failing you would not get  gray screen with
an X. This could be some other problem. See chapter on grayX at
http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/docs/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN965

Is this happening randomly? If yes then maybe you need to increase
number of sessions in the gdm.conf file. Or check if allocating lesser
memory in BIOS for video will work. And try i810 driver instead of
vesa for the GX100's...
