I'm experience with this too but at very rare occurrence, but that
usually about X server that push CPU to almost 100% working. The machine
still available trough ssh and I must kill the X server and gdm bring
back again.
I think the freeze usually is about the kernel or X server. Maybe you
can try with nv driver for video and if still freeze you can check your
computer availability from network for searching who's the cause
freezing.
What I'm experiencing is not just X server freeze. It's something
more serious. I cannot ssh to it. Cannot even ping it. Have to do a
hard reset.
I think I'll have to try the nv driver to see if it is caused by the
nvidia driver.

I am having the same issue and on the nvidia forum someone posted a
response that they compiled their kernel without CFS support and all was
fixed.
I think it is a bigger problem as I have issues with mplayer taking all
control from the keyboard or the latest issue is my display closing and
opening as if the frequency is being changed on the monitor. this
occurs with just scrolling on web pages.
I wanted to try a new kernel (2.6.22) over the weekend but things just
happened that prevented me from doing it.
This is becoming a major headache as the nv driver won't allow my kids
to play games and is preventing me from updating the laptop from FC4 to F7.
