This was a bitch of a bug to figure out.
Your machine isn't dead, you just can't see the login. The power management kicked in and the screen doesn't come back until you reauth.
If you were sitting in the dark you'd see what I mean (on an LCD, you see a vague outline of the login prompt).
When you come back to your PC in that state, hit ctrl-alt-del, then type your password and hit enter. It will come back.
Annoying as fuck, but at least there's a way around it.
