I had one freeze after another, sometimes several times a week, sometimes once a week, it drove me crazy, wrote Apple two or three times that with the last update I had begun going through the PC malady with a Mac.
I finally discovered that it completely went away if I eliminated screen saver, and just put the monitors to sleep but not the machine and used NO screen saver. I have not had a freeze or the need to reboot since, (several months) yet this seems much different than what you are experiencing. John R.
