I had someone restart the machine four days ago. Since then it's been sitting in the logon prompt, and it's still running. When I came into the office this morning, the screen was in power saver mode. This seems consistent with the theory that the culprit may be the screen saver. On the other hand, if the screen saver isn't running, the machine isn't doing much...

I recently installed FC 2 on the above machine, which has a 3G Pentium 4 w/ hyperthreading. This machine seems to hang hard after a day or so of running. It's usually just running the screen saver when it hangs.
A numbre of people have reported problems with OpenGL screensavers. Which screen saver have you chosen?
What graphics hardware does that machine have? If it's Nvidia or ATi, have you put proprietary drivers on?
Try setting "Blank Screen Only" in ScreenSaver Preferences (in Mode).
