I also experience random freezes, mostly while using firefox 3b5 but
also while playing videos (avi, DVD, flash...). when the freeze occurs,
I got the same symptoms as the original post mentions. I noticed
something interesting: whe the system freezes while using FF3B5, then
little animated ("loading") icon in the upper right corner stops. But
while i move the mouse pointer, this icon also moves again! Another
thing: when I hit ctrl+alt+backspace, nothing happens as mentioned
above. Bu tafter that, when I hit SYSRQ+S, X-window "initiates" its
shutdown and all that remains is a black screen and the mouse cursor.
Finally, a last observation, I use yakuake (a terminal that scrolls from
the top of then screen when hitting a key, usually F12) and when I hit
F12, the terminal scrolls down but I can't type anything in it. I'm
using an up to date kubuntu 8.04, KDE 3.5.9 (whit some KDE4 packages).
