Having had problems like this before, I'd ask:
1) Are their any unusual noizes noticable either during or slightly before
this lockup?
2) Is your hard-drive under warranty?
3) Do you get any log messages before lockup?
4) Will pressing numlock toggle the LED?
5) Does shift-scrolllock give you less then 128k of free swap?
6) Have you run e2fsck -c -C0 -vv <root device>? Have you run it repetedly?
('man e2fsck' before running this command. Make shure you remount root
readonly. Having messed that up once, let me assure you it is not a good
thing.)
