It freezes randomly, however, usually not when I use it, but most often when it is simply idling at night. The symptoms however are the same that you see, where everything hangs, and a hard reset it the only solution. I have thought it has been a problem with cooling or some other hardware error, but it could ofcourse be something else, in which case I'd love to be able to debug some more. Rgds.
