Well I'm back with more. I don't feel like explaining everything (not really that much), but get this bug to happen with system log viewer open. I did and it showed a bunch of stuff like I/O error like i said it was showing before (except this said sda), and much more. I stupidly hard reset the computer, not thinking, and now the errors it showed aren't there. It couldn't write them to the disk I guess.
Also, I was changing around some keyboard preferences when it happened and three error messages popped up showing:
"
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
-a bug in libxklavier library
-a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
-X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.org Foundation
10400090

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
-The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
-The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
"

I know that has to do with a keyboard (settings) problem and it was probably caused by the I/O problem. Next time the lock up happens I'll make sure to have system log viewer open and I'll copy down the error messages that come up during and after the lock up.
Everyone else see what happens if system log viewer is open when their computer locks up (if you have similar lock ups to mine, where it isn't really a full, permanent lock up).
Also, if people are having lock ups that aren't related to I/O errors like mine are, then shouldn't this bug be split up? Although, I think there's like only one or two other people who think their problem is I/O errors (which I now know it is, at least for me).
