Public bug reported:

About every 20 to 60 minutes my entire system will crash.  The mouse
pointer will still work, but everything else does not.  No response from
the keyboard and no response from clicking on anything.  The only thing
I can do is do a hard reset of the computer; pressing and holding the
power key until the system shuts off.

This is a fairly new install of Jaunty and I installed it from the final
only a couple days ago.  I never had this problem when using the Alpha
or Beta of Jaunty earlier.  It also seems that my wife does not have any
problems on her laptop.  My laptop, the one not working is a Inspiron
1525 and my Wife's is an older Inspiron, 1501 I think.

I think it may have something to do with my video card as it is not well
supported in Linux.  It is an Intel GMA X3100.  Celestia and Google
Earth basically work, but with a lot of graphical glitches and the
opengl section always overlaps everything else.  It may also be the
desktop effects as I added a couple extra.  I am going to try and shut
off the desktop effects to see if that works.

I'm using Kubuntu 9.04(Jaunty) on a Dell Inspiron 1525.
