Is this the same machine that has the slow boot problem? I'd begin
looking at BIOS options to see if there's something obvious causing
problems. If it's not odd BIOS settings, I suspect you've got hardware
going flakey.
What is running on the machine when it freezes? (daemons as well as
userspace).
