@Vast One: I somehow came to the same conclusion yesterday! While trying
to update my BIOS (which I never managed due to yet another ubuntu
issue...anyways), I had to restart my computer quite often (Dell E6400).
In doing so, the system froze, or at least went very slow, even before
doing entering KDE (usually the problem appears with video playback
under KDE), and it was impossible to make my computer work all night! I
tried 2h and then realized the computer was extremely HOT! This morning
everything is back to normal.

@Manoj: Do you think this might be related to some power management
issue or overheating/overclocking? So now, a way to reproduce the
problem on my Dell E6400: hard reboot it every minute, then it will be
hot and will freeze be slow after less than 60s uptime.

Let me know if you need anything else.
