Has anybody who is experiencing these problems tried 'ssh'ing into the box? It would help you figure out if it's really locked up or if it's the display server. Also, ctrl-alt-backspace was disabled on Ubuntu, maybe try enableing it and waiting for the next freeze... You can also use the Magic SysRq Key: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key Look up 'K' and make sure that it's all set up and wait for the next freeze...

Have you tried the nonfree nvidia drivers? Or perhaps the free ones if the nonfree are in use?
Hi Jason,
My graphics chip is the ATI Radeon RV280 (Radeon 9200 PRO), and it is running the Free Software driver. There is nothing proprietary in use for the video. I don't generally like to use the proprietary drivers, but perhaps I could try it to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
Andy
