Some things I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get rid of the freezes:

- running kde instead of gnome
- running mainline kernel .35rc1
- running bare bones icewm / blackbox sessions

in my case (msi k8t neo II mobo, amd 4400+, nvidia 6200 agp, nvidia 256.xx drivers installed manually), the problems usually start with the caps lock key going wild (all of a sudden, the keyboard (ps2) will create upper case only), then after a while the system locks up completely.

Only today, I had another interesting freeze with the "h" key autorepeating, hard reset required.
