I had a problem a while ago and most of the folks here told me it was probably my wireless drivers. Since I've switched to the ath5k FOSS drivers as opposed to madwifi I've had no problems so I'm inclined to think that was the problem. If you're running wireless, try leaving it up overnight with the wireless drivers unloaded.

Try upgrading to 2.6.37 from Kernel org (fakeroot make deb-pkg) using your distributions .config file should let you know if it's something in Linux which is screwing you over. And what are you doing watching movies on your server for! It should be a nice headless box you just SSH into at need. *grin* But first Andy, you need to give us more details. Does the entire box freeze or just the graphics? Can you hit Alt-SysRq-T or other combinations to get the system to give you crash info? Can you have an SSH session open from another system where you tail -f /var/log/messages and /var/log/system and dmesg so you can see if something pops up? We need more details before we can help!
