I'm having periodic freezes of F18. The freezes happen when
I click on a link. Usually this is in a Thunderbird window,

When it freezes, the screen is frozen, mouse is unresponsive,
and any sound which was playing repeats. I can ping the system,
but SSH does not respond. The system logs show nothing.
I recently upgraded the system from F15 using Nvidia drivers to
F18 with nouveau driver. Power management is turned off.
I've searched online and find some suggestion that there is
a problem with X and the nouveau driver. Other suggestions
about overheating or other hardware problems are unlikely.
Any suggestions?
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.
I don't think that it is a temp issue. When I reboot, the system is stable,
sometimes for days.
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.
I used the nvidia drivers with F15, but they did not work with a new
large-screen monitor. Nouveau seems more tolerant.
