I realize this is probably apples to oranges, but I used to run gentoo-sources and was 
always experiencing system freezes. Finally I switched to vanilla-sources, copied my 
.config and ran the make oldconfig to preserve my settings. From that point on not a 
single crash period. I never took the time to understand why, I've just stuck with 
vanilla ever since.
