Public bug reported: I am currently in the process of ripping and encoding all my DVDs; as such I have my computer on and working constantly. At some point it will freeze, but only after working for many hours. (5-30 hours)
This has occurred when encoding h.264 multi-threaded in ffmpeg, extracting the contents of 3 DVDs simultaneously, or even just using the computer after performing those sorts of activities. It occurs when using KDE, Gnome or Fluxbox as window manager. I should also mention that I use the system as a casual Samba server too, but it never freezes when any clients are connected. Parts of the user interface will freeze first, and then after a minute the rest of the computer (including mouse and emergency key combinations). No new programs can be opened while the system is partially frozen. Attempting to switch to a virtual terminal will immediately lock up the whole system, as will pressing Alt-SysRq-R. Only once has this freeze resulted in the keyboard lights flashing, and it's rare to get any kernel messages regarding it, making me believe that the kernel is stopping before being able to sync or actually run the panic function.

Of course, I've had the crash when not running KDE. I have established that the crash is not related to thermal issues or high memory use, and I do not get the crash unless the machine has been on for some hours.
