Sounds like a disk problem manifesting itself. If you can get it rebooted don't try the file copy again but do make sure to back up your important files from the drive, then try running a disk diagnostic program to see what is wrong.

Yesterday I was copying a file to another machine via USB and my x61s froze.  I 
tried to reboot, but other than the drive whirring and some of the status 
lights blinking, nothing happened (screen black, no fan, etc.).

A few hours later, I tried rebooting and I got to the POST and fingerprint 
reader screen, but no further (hitting ESC to enter PW by keyboard didn't do 
anything)

Yet later the machine started normally.  I then tried to copy my file by USB 
and it froze again.

Any suggestions (other than not copying a file via USB)?
