  No I haven't reported it.

I was taking this from the angle of a hardware problem.   I have two of 
these computers.  The only differences, one I put in a Nvidia Card (to 
get dual monitor support), and CPUs are different.

The problem computers is using the on-board intel graphics card.   I've 
just removed the intel drivers to see what happens but unfortunately my 
dad's gone off line.  (which it's his computer that has the problems, 2 
hour's drive away so can't just pop over... grin)

I noticed just before the freeze the rtkit canary goes hungry and the 
interrupt requests go through the roof.   The i915 driver also seems to 
pop up in the top logs for a second as using 99% CPU.

Once my father comes back on-line I'll try with the intel drivers 
removed to see if it makes a difference.   I have nine Fedora 13 
systems, that one is the only system with a problem.
