I would guess this is an X issue. And typically due to a bug in graphics drivers. What video hardware do you have? What drivers do you use? When it happens again, I would take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (if you can ssh from a remote machine) or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (if you cannot and have rebooted into runlevel 5 again). If X got hung, something there should give you a clue what happened. If you post the log here, maybe we can help more.
