Two days in a row my fc5 computer has frozen soon after I start using it in the morning.

However, I have more information about the problem. I think I misdiagnosed the problem... it appears that the mouse/keyboard are not completely unresponsive... they're are just responding extremely slowly. I ssh'd into my work computer (the one that is "hanging" every day) from home last night. This morning before I came to work, I tried to do a little work from my ssh session. And it was messed up too! Things were running very slowly.

My fc5 system hasn't "hung" in 5 days, so I'm hoping that something that I've tried has fixed it. Still too soon to tell for sure I guess, but here's what I've tried:
yum -y update (It was already up to date as of about 10 days ago, but I updated again).
Disabled the following services: acpid apmd avahi-daemon bluetooth cpuspeed hidd irqbalance isdn
Removed the following from cron.daily: prelink beagle-crawl-system
I'm hoping that one of these things fixed the problem.
Yeah, Beagle started eating up CPU this morning. It practically stopped my system cold. <Sigh> Ric
