Hm. This very much looks like hardware.

If the system freezes, you have bad luck. Very often the freeze is hard
(write lock on the PCIe bus), so even interrupts aren't handled any
more. Other than that, having a ssh connection to the system under test
and starting X with "X -verbose 9" can help sometimes.
Blame the PC architecture for being able to completely lock up on the
hardware side.

it really locks hard, nothing works after this happen. no ssh, nothing.
Now, I do agree that most probably it is hardware problem, but it
behaves very strange. If I turn on machine, go in normal kde login and
wokr for lets say an hour, it is going to freeze. I.e. if it stays in
X for more than an hour - chances are really high that its going to
block.
If I just open a text console (Alt-F2), and leave the machine in that
state (with all kde stuff not logged out, all the applications
started, etc.) it will not freeze. Even after a day, I just hit Alt-F7
and resume my work. I just have to be careful to work for 30 minutes
and switch back to text console. That way I can use the machine for a
long period of time (untill I forget to watch the time, and it freezes
:) )
I have to do this until I wait my replacement video card. I ordered
one, and we'll see if this will solve the problem.
