Computer frozen with X running at 100%CPU time

Hi, hope this is the right place to ask this:

I got this strange problem.

One of our computers keep frozen after being used for a while, you still
can move the mouse, but can't click, can't switch console. But I can login
remotelly and running programes. The 'top' shows application X is running
all the time at 100%CPU time. Checked all the log files, found nothing
strange or maybe I missed something. Really don't know where to look. Any
suggestions are highly appreciated!

Here the information about the system:
Dell precision workstation 620 with 512MB memory, 1 cpu
RedHat Linux 7.3
XFree86 Version 4.2.1
nVidia 256MB GeForce Fx5600

Thanks!
Chen
