I have the same problem, this time with a Desktop. I left it running
Memtest86 for about one day without errors and I changed the CMOS
battery, just in case.

Oftentimes when it freezes, I have to manually unplug and replug the
ethernet cable (after rebooting the system)  to make the network
functionality work, otherwise, the network interface is deaf.

I am running FC3, the motherboard is a PC-Chips, with a Celeron
1.3GHz, 512MB ram, and it is usually running Samba, Dovecot and
Postfix. (it is my home mail server).
