The problem with alot of computers that freeze up is that they dont have 
time to write to the logs any errors. So, It can be a problem finding 
anything wierd in the logs. What I do is open a term window and run 
'top' in the foreground. Let it run til it locks up and see if any 
service is causing the problem by hogging memory or cpu time. - Just a 
thought.
