That happened to me. A google search revealed the problem was common to other users of the motherboard I have (Asus P7PP5D) and the kernel (2.6.32). The fix was to use a USB keyboard and USB mouse. That has completely eliminated the lockups. Just changing to a USB mouse reduced the freeze rate to about once a day. I was able to ssh into the machine from another machine during lockups. This might have nothing to do with your problem, but trying a USB mouse is an easy test (it should work even during the lockup).
