Ubuntu Jaunty's strange behaviour

Hi!

My system seems to going crazy... Yesterday it flushes some settings, some settings it leave... I can't find the link between the settings it had reset: some of these settings I made two days ago and system was working fine and some more than a month ago. System's log says nothing. Moreover, there is some strange record:
Code:
/var/log/syslog:Aug 27 23:13:06 lenovo-y510ka kernel: [    0Aug 27 23:17:01 lenovo-y510ka /USR/SBIN/CRON[7584]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

A big term of time system did not record it activity... How I can find out what's going on?..

Any comments and advices are appreciated

Thanks in advance

That log entry is fine. You are using Cron/Anacron to do system management. The entry here is stating that it ran the tasks in cron.hourly.

Have you noticed two timestamps in the output?.. I suppose there should be at least two records instead one, but first message is cuted, begins at 23:13:06 and says something about kernel and finishes unexpectedly, but the next one begins after about 4 minutes, at 23:17:01 and it says about cron job... What happen between 23:13 and 23:17?..
