I am suspecting that it is disk writes that are causing the problem, maybe with some kind of shared IRQ issue, because I can watch prerecorded HD video, reading from the disk for hours and sending it to the video card, with no problem, but starting yum and downloading info from the repos or reencoding video can lock it right up. This is an AMD 770 chipset based board. Maybe there are some improvements in 2.6.32 for that chipset.
