I just had the display freeze again and I had to do a hard restart.
Hardware: Gateway P-6860 FX notebook with nvidia 8800M GTS video card running the recommended 180 drivers (with Extra visual effects enabled).
Connected to internet via Intel 965 wireless n network card through Belkin wireless n router (WPA2 secured (I think)).
Running Ubuntu 9.04 with latest updates.
All I was running was Firefox 3.0.10 with three tabs open (I also might have had one Nautilus window open, but I can't remember), Gmail, Google Reader, and the VLC Media Player Download for Ubuntu page (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html).
The computer had been running for about 45 min.
I had just scrolled to the top of a (very) long email in the Gmail tab, clicked the Inbox button to go to my inbox, and then switched to the VLC tab when everything froze.
I don't know if all this will help, but I tried to give as much info as possible.
