It will be helpful to know what is meant by "freezes".
Is the system on a network?
When the system freezes ( I assume you mean the desktop becomes
inactive )
can you ping the machine--- from another machine on the network?
Can you get to a black screen console... using the key sequence
ctrl+alt+F1 ? (be patient, if the cpu is being hammered it might take a
little bit)
If you can get to a console then login (again, may take a while if the
cpu is
being hammered) and run the "top" command. See if something is hogging
cpu or memory... also could try ps ax and try to determine which process
is taking over the system.
It is highly unlikely that the kernel will "freeze".
