Possibly related:

"Some times the ubuntu get totally freeze without reason, in this situation I am not able to do anything, I try some button combination but nothing happen, the only thing I am able to so is just to move the mouse cursor, nothing else. I am only able to shut down the pc with the power button."

(Thread closed because diffuse reports of freezing from other people blurred the issue)

"So, every once in a while here in the last week (like... several times) the desktop completely freezes up. I can move the mouse around but nothing is clickable and nothing accepts any keyboard input. I can't type anything anywhere. I can't click anything. All I can do is hold down the power button to turn it off and then restart."

This bug describes similar issues, asserting initialy to be related to indicator-multiload, but diverging to other ideas later on. Probably two unrelated issues mixed in there:
