I can add a "me too" for this problem. F9 was rock solid stable. A clean
install of F10beta will lock up randomly. Sometimes within minutes of
logging in. Using Firefox seems to make the lockups occur more
frequent. 

Are you seeing any screen corruption? Occasionally I will see some.

A home built system here. Probably about three and half years old now.

ATI video?
