Are you sure it's a gdm lockup? Sounds to me like an X server lockup.
When it locked up, did anything still worked? Mouse? Caps-Lock?
Virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-Fn)?
You can also activate Sys-Rq (might require compiling your own kernel,
some distros do not, or at least 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq'),
and then Alt-SysRq-<some letter>, where <some letter> is b for reboot,
s for sync, and others (read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt).
If you have another machine and a network, you can also try connecting
through the net.
