Hi:

I have had the same or similar experience to most others in this bug report.  
My machine started freezing randomly a few weeks back after years of reliable 
service.  I tried lots of things and eventually determined that it was a heat 
problem.  The CPU fan was full of dust and the temps were pretty high.  I blew 
out the dust and the temp went right down, but the random freezes remained.  
That machine was an Asus P5B Deluxe, Dual Core, 6GB RAM, NVidia 6600 on Jaunty. 
 On close inspection, I could see the graphics riser was slightly warped and 
discoloured, so I assumed it had heated to the point that it had damaged the MB 
and that was what was causing the random freezes,
I got a new MB, CPU, RAM (Asus M3N, AM2, 4GB RAM, on-board NVidia 8200) and 
re-installed Jaunty.  It worked fine for about 1 day and then the random 
freezes happened again.  I tried all the suggestions on this and other posts 
such as installing the 185 driver, except the 2.6.30 kernel, but still it froze 
more and more.
I am now running 8.04 with very limited graphics.  I can at least work, but 
would like to use jaunty if possible.  I hope someone can find a cure for this 
ill.  The conspiracy theorist in me suspects an M$ mole planted in the kernel 
team several years ago who has finally made their move :)
