This is sounding more and more like the lockups I've been experiencing. In my case it was every distro other than Gentoo. I'm trying Fedora with "Asus Express Gate" switched off in the BIOS, and it seems to be helping. I know you don't have an Asus motherboard though, so I'm not helping :-( When did you last recompile your kernel? What version is it?
