The problem was in the Xorg driver. You should try to narrow it down and disable Xorg and see if you are still noticizing freezes. (In my case, it would only behave like this in combination with X) My solution was to run the vesa driver in xorg and I have never had any problems anymore. Good luck. Now that's room service!
