Greg, I think that the USB ports issue as Femme indicated are probably totally separate to your system clagging out after some idle time. I would maybe suspect some highly intelligent piece of hardware that goes to sleep to save energy then decides not to wake up again. Do you notice disks spinning down - anything like that. How does it look when it locks up? Is the screen blank? Have you tried the old alt-SysRq-rseiu routine? Sacrificing virgins? etc.
