I hade some frezes as well with Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit and 10.04 The problem was as followed:
As I started to download (in my case it was by JDownloader) after a while the whole system freezes. I checked My RAMs and one seemed to be faulty but as I changed it to a new one the problem was still up. We I used one single 1024MB and it worked perfect (each of the stand alone) As soon I entered the second one the freezing problem is back. I've seen at some forums threads, they had problems with the same wireless card as I use (Netgear WN311B). For addition the same Netgear card was running fine on an other PC with Ubuntu 32-Bit I was using the Broadcom driver by the proprietary drivers. Now I changed the Wireless-card to a plug and Play (out of the box support) and all the freezing problems are gone. I don't think the card is faulty, Probably something with the RAM addresses? I have no idea, but the fault can be rebuilt.
