Also check the health of your hard drive with smartctl. I've hard
systems freeze on me because my hard drive was dying that then appear to
work again for a while after a reboot.  Basically your drive starts
throwing errors and eventually the system remounts it as read only and
your system eventually freaks out and freezes because it can't write to
the drive anymore.
I sure hope this is the problem. It'll give me an excuse to put an ssd
in the machine.
This is from live media boot. I'll see if I can freeze the system
again.... it did when I tried it before but it hasn't frozen for a
couple of days now.
