Looking at all the comments in various forums and bug#, the freeze fenomena:
1. doesn't seem to relate to CPU type, nor to SATA, Graphics card, MB, memory q.ty, or other hardware connected cases.
2. seems to inflict the Xserver only, and blocking the entire PC, basic VT too, not keyb and mouse only
3. booting without startx enables to work on the VT for indefinitive time without freeze problems
4. getting access to the frozen PC through telnet results in no response
5. booting and starting X, then connecting from a remote WS via Telnet works fine but the communication stops working when the PC freezes
6. has no connection to any user space application
7. follows a completely randomic behave; else if nothing is touched after boot, the PC freezes with completely random delay
8. in some cases the problem doesn't exist on the very fresh installation for, at least, hours
9. tested on various new and older PCs (5 years old hw too) without change on behave.
10. ... will add more when discovered
