John, First, let's try to get you out of the freeze without potentially creaming your system.
Have a look at: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/arecov4.html This covers how to recover or at least crash your system with the lowest likelihood of doing damage in the process. I have a printed copy of this handy at all times :-) In fact start at: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/arecov.html and read through from there. This is essential stuff if you want to know how to administer and recover your system, not just crash it and hope it reboots. I recommend you try killing the X server (alt-ctrl-backspace) as a first step. If this works, it at least indicates where the problem lies. Then start browsing the system logs for likely error messages. Once you get to that point and don't know where to go next, you may have enough info for the list to help you resolve the problem.
