No particular suggestion.  However, I did have a similar problem.  This was on F17 and I would get a "freeze" condition.  The mouse would not be responsive and I could not ssh into the system.  Also, if I were viewing a video or something like NFL Network the sound would continue or get into a loop.

For me it turned out to be the fan dying on my video card.  It seems you've ruled that out but I just wanted to mention that it matched my experience.

Now, I know this is heretic, have you considered using the nVidia drivers?  (FWIW, I *must* use the nVidia drivers since nouveau fails with my hardware.
