This is often possible in the systems' BIOS. That is pretty much the
normal way of doing it on a PC.

Hmm... does it happen while using any particular programs? X11 is not a
particularly forgiving architecture, in that one GUI program can easily
prevent X11 updates from occurring. Most likely what you are seeing is
the result of a misbehaving application, rather than a problem with any
driver.
Fortunately, this is UNIX, and CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will kill your X
server when this occurs. Sometimes it also works (if you have an
alternate window to do this from) to login remotely and kill the
application. I've had to do this with Firefox every once in a while --
I think some plugins behave badly.
