Bug Description

Unsure if this is related- but computer has been freezing up- usually while idle and mouse and keyboard stop functioning. Only recourse is hard restart. It happens a few times a day.
Also, screensaver is messed up- occasionally it starts when computer is idle but now it usually does not start. No longer have xscreensaver (it was removed by the software center as unnecessary) so not sure how to tweak this anymore.
If there is anything else I can send to help- let me know. This has been a problem for a few weeks now.
