Try opening a terminal and running top in it. Then, when this happens you can look at the terminal and see if something's hogging the cpu.
Joe:

Thanks for prompt reply.

I ran that test earlier but saw pretty much no cpu activity so I didn't get the sense I was pegging out at 100%. Forgot to mention in my original email, sorry

The mouse and its buttons are totally responsive during this time ... its just the keyboard. I even tried unplugging and plugging back in.

I can ssh into the machine from another box and have no problems after the keyboard has locked up for the keyboard of that machine. This has become my "fallback" so I can try to get things stable before I restart the system. I just realized that I haven't tried using the logout dialog to kill that user and then seeing if I can come back in fresh ... next test when the failure happens
