Could you get a kernel trace after the next freeze? In other words, hit
the programmer's switch to drop into the debugger and type 'trace' at the
'db>' prompt. If this doesn't work, you've got something waiting with
interrupts off for some reason.
Is this machine networked? If so, can you ping it?
Perhaps with a little more info, we can figure this one out.
Later.
