I lucked in by checking this thread as I too have been experiencing this problem. Will definitely give Ricardo's suggestion a try next time it happens.
on My iMac. My MacBook Air also seems to sometimes freeze at the Login screen and I can't put in my Name or Password. I may have to go to the apple store again on that issue. In both instances I hold in the power button for about 10 seconds and the iMac always reboots successfully, but not my MacBook Air. Thanks to you all.
