That's his hostname.

Examine /etc/crontab and /var/spool/cron/* looking for something that
was installed that runs the postgres user stuff every 5 mins.

Most often for nasty dead meat crashes I found the problem is an X
driver.  Try the vesa driver instead for a while, if that actually works
on your platform.
