FC3 Freezes Every Day

I'm having irritating problems and wonder if anyone can tell me how to
get more details about what happened when my computer froze.

My computer is a P4 1.6GHz 384MB Ram, NVidia (using default nv module)
system that is dual boot XP Home SP2 and FC3. I've used RH9,FC1,FC2
and now FC3 on this computer.  I'm not having the problem freezing in
Windows and I didn't have it with FC2 or prior  versions.

I've updated to the newest kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3) via yum
and since have had several complete system freezes. (pressing caps
lock won't even affect the light on the keyboard)

It's been a long time since I've seen this and I don't remember how to
get information about what caused it.

In both cases when there was a freeze I heard a quick sound of writing
to the disk so it seems something must have been logged somewhere.

I'm happy to file bug-reports if that is what is necessary, but if
anyone could give me just a little info about how to get more details,
or better yet, if anyone knows a solution to them, I'd be grateful.

Thanks for any info,
