Hardy Beta (with all latest updates) on my Compaq v3000 seems to have this problem. So you are not alone! The laptop randomly freezes mostly resulting in a hard reboot. But recently i just switched off the wireless antenaa and after a few minutes it starts responding! I have been able to reproduce this behaviour atleast twice.
