Does the freeze always happen in the same place while compiling those packages? If not, I would suspect hardware problems, e.g. overheating due to poor ventilation of the CPU, or memory chips that are going bad. When I have random malfunctions like you describe, I open the computer case and spray the dust off of everything using compressed air. If that doesn't fix the problem I run memtest86 overnight to find failing memory chips. One of those two steps usually fixes the problem for me. Also, you could rule out bugs in the nvidia driver by trying to compile chromium or openoffice from a console terminal (i.e. while X is not running).
