I had exactly the same issue on my lenovo, I installed the experimental kernel packages (linux-image-3.6-trunk-amd64 / 3.6.8-1~experimental.1), since then I've never had any more freezes. There is no need to build your own kernel. echo > "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-3.6-trunk-amd64 linux-headers-3.6-trunk-all-amd64 I think meanwhile the kernel is 3.7...
