I have a lot of installs and running virtualbox machines and vmware images even in parallel. I noticed that what causes the instabilities must be related to kernel version used - and whatever variant of Ubuntu (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu and even several other distributions based on Ubuntu) you are somehow using the official kernels. The official kernel of Ubuntu currently is 3.2.0.32 which I didn't test so far (my last tests with a lot of freezes were on 3.2.0.28 if I remember right). Therefore I began trying different kernels. With Kernel 3.4 for example I did not have any freeze issue over weeks! Would be interesting, which kernel you are currently using on Arch. BTW: I have learned yesterday, that it is better to use the kernels from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ which are the Ubuntu adopted variants of the mainline kernels at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ (the latter is the transferred original kernel only). I am currently on the Ubuntu adapted variant of kernel 3.5.0-18-generic - so far looks good but too early for a reliable answer. And the reason, why this is marked as Won't fix is because this bug report already contains many similar effects but with very different causes. This is why everybody should file a separate bug for the more specific problem.
