If the OP has an nVidia card and is using their drivers (either directly 
or through kmod-nvidia) and has the screensaver set to random, it's a 
possibility.  Several years ago I had the same issue and found, by 
looking at nVidia's own support forum, that their driver had problems 
with "line drawing" screensavers that would hang it.  Not sure what they 
meant, or if it's ever been fixed, but I do know that I've not had the 
slightest trouble with it since I set mine to a specific screensaver, 
changing it whenever I get tired of looking at it.
