Defintely not a virus. I assume you rebooted the box after you
witnessed this. perhaps you need to watch the bootup. If it's obscured
by a graphic you should be able to disable that or use the 'dmesg |
less' command to view startup messages and kernel messages. Look
through /var/log/messages and other files in /var/log -- you'll find
hits there.

I suspect your box had a hardware problem, perhaps a runaway cron job
process ate up RAM which killed off several processes. Or even just a
buggy dekstop app can do this.

Consider booting a knoppix CD and see if all your hardware is recognized.
