Also check ~/.xsession_errors, and maybe try running without networking
for a while, then without sound (e.g. in Sound Properties choose the
profile &quot;off&quot; for each card, and then rmmod the modules).

Another possibility is you have power saving enabled for the hard drive,
and it's taking a while to wake up. If X or the window manager is partly
swapped out then the kernel will need to wake up the disk to service the
page fault, and in the mean-time X will likely be frozen.

Also check whether caps lock, num lock lights work when it's frozen.

I've actually been having something similar with magea 1 on my laptop
and not yet tracked it down.
