I'm experiencing this freeze too. I've disabled irqbalance, put "noirqbalance" in the kernel parameters, removed compiz. But my F7 system still freezes a few times a day.
It appears related to the desktop environment. I can leave it there for weeks, with server processes running. But if I sit there and using the desktop environment, it then freezes frequently. Nothing in the log files.
I'm running F7 x86_64, with AMD X2 and the latest nVidia driver. I've run memtest for hours without errors. The kernel version is 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.

Same here. I have these random freezes on my laptop and since I do not have another m/c to access it, I am completely hosed :-(
The mouse & keyboard do not respond. I wanted to use compiz but then the system would freeze more often.
I believe the problem is strongly related to the graphics driver. I have a ATI M300 => radeon300 driver.
During the recent freezes, the only application that could have caused an issue was Thunderbird's notification mechanism (which brings up a popup)
This behavior is definitely not acceptable. But what frustrates me the most is the absence of any logs!!!! (Arghhh!!) Any hope of logging a bug so that developers could fix the issue is lost.
Does any one know how I could capture these error messages? What are the parameters to generate logs for the graphics drivers?
thanks, Rogue
I updated to the latest 2.6.22 kernel and my machine still freezes on me. So now I'm using the "nv" driver. I'll see if it still freezes.

I am interested in how your F7 freezes. I had a freeze yesterday. What happened I think was all the fast RAM got used and it was using the Swap partition. I watched my hard drive light and it was on solid. I did Ctrl-Alt F1 and in about 3 minutes it dropped to a prompt. But I was unable to log in it so slow.
Does this sound like yours?
