I don't know where is the new bug so I post here. I hope it will help:
Just before my computer freezed, it wrote those 2 lines in /var/log/messages:

Sep 18 18:29:48 hostname kernel: [ 136.088162] Marking TSC unstable due to cpufreq changes
Sep 18 18:29:48 hostname kernel: [ 136.588023] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -251978895 ns)

I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Mother board and the "Cool and quiet" (which permit the frequency of the CPU change) is enabled.
