I have a laptop with: Processor Intel® Core I7 - I7-2760QM - 2.40 GHz / 3.50 GHz (Max Turbo Freq.) - (Quad-core mobile - Socket FCPGA988 - 6 Mo cache L2 - 32 nm - 45 W - 64-bitsVirtualisation - Hyperthreading (8 threads) - integrated HD Graphics 3000) LED screen 17.3" Full-HD 1920 x 1080 TFT 16 Go SO-DIMM RAM DDR-3 / 1333 MHz (4 x 4 Go) Video controler nVidia GeForce GTX 560M with 1.5 Go dedicated VRAM DDR-5 (Support PCIe x16, DirectX 11, nVidia PhysX, HDMI 1.4, HDCP, GeForce CUDA) Chipset Intel HM67 2nd generation Technology PCI-Express Main bus (FSB) 1333 MHz Technology Intel® for processors Intel® Core I7 and Core I7 Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge 2nd generation (64-bits mobile) Support PCI-Express x16 et DirectX 11 Graphical accelerator 2D/3D at 128 bits, decoding MPEG I & II, DVD-playback I have installed F17 64 bits: Linux mymachine 3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:07:34 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > Do you have it overclocked?

I am using the nvidia proprietary driver (I used kmod-nvidia and switched to akmod-nvidia recently because the 3.6.10 driver did not come but this did not change anything). I have read a thread that reports the same issue on gdm bug tracker and someone tried both nvidia and nouveau with no difference but I have not done it myself. > Do you have another machine networked to this machine?

Halas, I could not reproduce the freeze but I got only a small freeze (30 sec.) and dmesg during that freeze gave: [62645.848785] SELinux: initialized (dev fuse, type fuse), uses genfs_contexts [62906.805823] SELinux: initialized (dev fuse, type fuse), uses genfs_contexts [62965.449065] nepomukservices[26117]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007fff6096e428 error 14 in nepomukservicestub[400000+7000] [63022.645742] NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00: GPU-a26ca184-dbb8-cb76-a255-3c1db789ce86 [63022.645758] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 31, Ch 00000002, engmask 00000101, intr 10000000 [63023.160005] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 8, Channel 00000004 I see also that after trying to open lots of sessions and close them, my 16 Gb memory is full and I had difficulties openning a new terminal because it said "bash fork retry no child processes". I do not know if it is linked but I read somewhere that when X freezes, it may be due to memory leaks... I will come back later with more info if a new crash happen.
