To what extent does it freeze?

Mouse not working?
Keyboard not working?
Can you not ping the box on a network?

If all the above are true, then more than likely you have a hardware 
freeze happening, not so much a software one.

I've found it notoriously hard to freeze a Linux box completely.

In fact, I've never managed to do it just running Linux - it always 
turned out to be faulty hardware.

Before you do the bugzilla thing, run a memory test and try the PC with 
all cards removed first.

It's too often I see bug reports for software when the hardware is in 
fact flaky.

Ed.
