From bug #569011:

It happens on a Compaq Deskpro ENL/P866 here. It's a Pentium III 866Mhz with an Intel 815 chipset and an Nvidia graphic card.

The system freezes randomly and Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B is the only way to reboot.

It happens:
- with kernel 2.6.32-22
- in GUI

It DOESN'T happen:
- with kernel 2.6.31-21
- in text mode (tty)

Just tested with mainline kernel 2.6.34 #020634 and no freeze happens anymore.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in 1600x1200 at 60Hz on 17" CRT with this kernel making the PC hardly usable for a long time.
