What crash logs?

The kernel locks up, is there a log somewhere?



System log under /var/log/messages
or command dmesg

Also, if you keep your terminal window open crash should pop-up by 
itself so called kernel oops. For example see first post in the 
following link:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/316131/how-do-you-diagnose-a-kernel-oops

There was no kernel oops, everything just froze.
dmesg seems to clear when I reboot.

Yes, log is regenerated with reboot.

If everything just froze those pci slot swap seems like a good solution :)
It sounds to me like some hardware problem (maybe dust preventing a good  
contact in slot).

Maybe you would want to pass those crash logs for debugging purposes :)

It's possible for developers to track from them where the crash occurs in  
driver.

It occurred to me to try the mythbuntu livedvd. :-)

That didn't work so I tried my other PCIe slot (I had to disconnect 
stuff to make it fit :-() and it works now.

It could be the hardware but it is brand new.
