First thing to check is your processor temp. In 60 or 70% of these
cases the freezes are due to an over heated CPU. Next time it
happens, reboot imediately and go into your bios and check the temps.
You also can try to prove that this is the case by removing the cover
from the case and making sure that there is air circulation around
the box. A fan blowing air at the open case will help. The second
biggest reason for freezes durring long compiles is bad memory.
Google for memtest86 and either install it as a boot choice that can
be started from grub, or burn it to a CD and boot to it. Run the
tests for at least a half hour, prefferably at least as long as it
takes for the machine to freeze and see what happens.
