I've been having problems with my system locking up completely after
(usually) less than a minute requiring a long press of the power button
to be able to reboot.

I'm on a Dell Laptop with and ati chipset, so if this is the same then
it may not be an 'intel' thing.

I've looking into the X log, but it doesn't seem to contain anything
useful for reporting.

This has been a problem for about 6 weeks (in my case) but with limited
time and having been away for the past three weeks, I haven't had a
chance to report and had hoped it would resolve in the 3 weeks I was
away (it hasn't).

I've even had these lockups when in a VT (with X still running in
background).
