No particular suggestion. However, I did have a similar problem. This was on F17 and I would get a "freeze" condition. The mouse would not be responsive and I could not ssh into the system. Also, if I were viewing a video or something like NFL Network the sound would continue or get into a loop. For me it turned out to be the fan dying on my video card. It seems you've ruled that out but I just wanted to mention that it matched my experience. Now, I know this is heretic, have you considered using the nVidia drivers?
