I'm seeing this regularly as well. Often I am doing something with video
or audio. This last time, I launched an mp3 in VLC, and the screen
immediately froze. The audio kept playing. About 15 minutes later, when
the mp3 ended, the screen immediately unfroze and everything seemed
fine.

It has been happening once every 2 days or so, but has on occasion
occurred multiple times on the same day. Often, I can't wait to see if
it will come back, and sometimes it never does, so I have to reboot.
This is brutal for things like presentations, having no idea if the
machine will suddenly just freeze.
