I tried using the keyboard short-cuts etc. assuming that its just the screen which freezed, but none of the operations worked as far as i have tried. numlock, caps lock are working fine.
I tried logging out of session, bringing up the terminal and gave some commands. but none worked, only thing i could do is ctrl+alt+F3 and then tried killing gnome and restarting but it do not restart. only one option is to restart the system, and i hate that.
Please suggest some actions which i could try or some possible solutions.

For some reason, Fedora freezes after an unspecified amount of time. I'm
able to move the mouse but everything else is unresponsive. So I just
switch to console <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F2> and use "killall -s HUP gnome-shell"
in root shell (#). Haven't tested any of the other Desktop managers but
I'm pretty sure this is the only one.

How many monitors are you using?
It's probably not this - because you can get at the shell - but I notice sometimes my lock screen doesn't display the password popup on a monitor ( or more accurately displays it on a monitor it is not displaying anything on). When I type my password it unlocks and both screens then display as normal.

Please file bugs. I haven't come across these situations while using
gnome3. The screen freeze does happen if you're using a 64bit kernel and
making high i/o related operations. Its a kernel bug, fixed in 3.2
