CentOS - May 2008 - Centos Freezing

Hello,

For some reason at different times Centos will freeze and not allow me to do 
anything.  This doesn't happen while I'm working on the system but after
I
have locked my session and then return.  It could goes days without a lockup 
and then the next time I try to log in it'll be frozen.

I would like to know if anyone else has seen this or knows of a fix or where I 
could start to look to find out if there is a process or something causing 
this.

I normally have the same programs running so I don't think it could be
caused
by me starting and then leaving something new running.

Thanks for your help.

Not me, have not had such an issue. make sure you are completely yum-updated for
a start.

I guess the reason why no one has replied to your post so far is that its hard 
to work out or even think about such issues without some more context. Do you 
have proprietary drivers installed for anything ? ndiswrapper for wifi  ? grfx 
drivers for nvidia or ati ? Could there be a network issue ?
