I wonder if the system is sleeping/hibernating and the drive isn't waking up in time and dbus or gdm or gnome-shell are getting irritated. I'd ssh in remotely, run journalctl --follow and see what's displayed the next time you have a freeze.

An update;

   I reinstalled on the Samsung 840 Pro not long before I ran/reported 
the smart test earlier in the thread. I've been running now for a couple 
days with F18 and have not had another crash. The main differences from 
last time is that;

a) I had installed windows on the drive and ran the Samsung SSD utils, 
though I don't think it changed anything unless it did so behind the scenes.

b) I 0'ed out the entire drive (over USB from F18 on my older SSD) 
before reinstalling F18 on the Samsung.

   Not sure how or if these could have changed anything. However, this 
is the longest stretch I've gone without a crash since getting this 
Samsung drive.
