Definitely sounds like some type of hardware issue. I'd suspect either
a failing HD or a temperature problem. Do you hear weird clicking
noises from the HD? What happens if you shut it down and let it cool
off completely (for an hour or so) and then start it back up? Do you
get more 'good' time before it locks up?
To diagnose the HD as a culprit, you could try removing the HD and
booting with a Linux Live CD and see if that works fine.

T43 WXP was in suspend, didn't come back to life.
I shut down and rebooted and it wasn't behaving
right. Tried safe mode, then revert to last good
config etc a couple of times. Hard drive spun a
lot.
It finally boots but after the dt comes up normally,
in about a minute the mouse and keypad freeze. You can
actually see 2-3 images of the cursor where it apparently
was moving and the screen repaint process was stalled
somehow.
This is the same with T43 keyboard or ext
keyboard connected via ports on back of dock.
Very keen for ideas what kind of thing might be
wrong or what more I need to do to diagnose as I'm
about to fly to USA tomorrow and don't know what
to do. I'm using my step-father's old Dell now :(
Tks for all help
