I have the same issue (system frozen with capslock and scrolllock
flashing). I did some research a month or so ago and found some pointers
to GLX so I disabled screensavers and shutdown at night. Last night I
left the system on but doing nothing - the only apps open were Eclipse
and Terminal - no email, no torrent, or other network apps (however, the
update manager was on and reports updates available now). When I
switched on the monitor I was greeted by the now-familiar 'snow' (looks
like a crappy TV signal) on the screen and flashing lights on the
keyboard. Time to hit reset.

I don't have the RT61 card - but I suspect there is a family resemblance:
