Have you successfully run other Linux disties on this hardware? Try,
e.g. Ubunutu 7.04, from a live CD.
A few more things to try....
Try using different applications. Use Konqueror instead of Firefox,
etc.
Run memtest86 overnight. If that locks up, you probably have a
motherboard or RAM problem.
Set up an SSH log-in for the system, and have that running. Then when
the display locks up, if the system is still active, it's probably a
video driver issue. top, ps, /var/log/messages and other tools may
give you some hints. Then, can you gracefully shut X down?
From what I see here, I think filing a bug is premature. You don't yet
know the component to file against, and without a definite cause a bug
report is not very useful.
