Fedora hangs driving me nuts, in Windows it works without problems!

I'd bet on the drivers. I have Core i5-2500k (no additional graphics card,  
just the integrated Intel HD 3000) in my home computer and used to  
experience freezes, too. The freezes were often preceded with screen  
flicker and decrease in video performance. Now in Fedora 18 it's all right  
again for a while now - at the moment, the uptime is nearly 6 days.
But please don't take this very seriously, I didn't investigate it at all.  
Perhaps there already is a report for this...

Cooling is fine in my case.
