In a way, I'm glad someone else has this problem. I wish nobody had it, but now we can confirm this bug. That means it's not a hardware issue. What specific graphics card do you have? I wonder if it's the same graphics card I have, an AMD Radeon HD 6300. Or does this effect every graphics card using the radeon driver? Please do investigate.

While using the computer, Ubuntu will frequently (within 5-10 minutes of use) hard freeze. I am unable to move the mouse, CTRL ALT F whatever to a virtual terminal, use the keyboard, and the power button doesn't respond unless I do a hard shutdown. This could be a bug with the kernel, Xorg, or compiz. Or even something else. I have no clue to as to what's causing this, so I will upload some log files from /var/log and provide my kernel version, graphics card, and more system info if necessary. This courts frequently on raring, but also happened occasionally on Quantal. But that's another bug report. Every package is up to date. I noticed this happened only on quantal when I manually upgraded to the mainline kernel. So it could also be a kernel bug.
