No, seriously, I've never heard of anything like that before...

I can hardly image how collectd is supposed to be related to that.
Anyway, as uninstalling collectd solved the problem for you, there has
to be some sort of connection (What other packages have been installed
along with collectd?). Did you see any error messages in syslog? Did the
system load go up to some huge value (the "load" plugin provides those
values)?

Please reinstall collectd from a non-X-based terminal and see if the
same issue arises. Then, after a couple of minutes, try to get
information about the current load, memory usage, CPU usage and the
memory and CPU usage of collectd (e.g. "top -p `pidof collectd`"
provides all of that information - a screenshot would help a lot: "top
-p `pidof collectd` -n 1 > top.out").

Cheers,
Sebastian
