Am running latest gutsy on sempron 2800 on EP-8krai pro motherboard and nvidia geforce 6200. On both feisty and gutsy mouse and keyboard would appear to freeze randomly forcing me to reboot. Have changed from optical wheel mouse to old wired non optical ps2 mouse. Still problem. I noticed however that my syslog always had a series of lines before the crash which start with the wireless ones below then continue with a series of consequtive apic errors on cpu until freeze. Here is a sample of the lines:

Aug 29 12:45:56 cbahimsa-gutsy NetworkManager: <info> Updating allowed wireless network lists.
Aug 29 12:45:56 cbahimsa-gutsy NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_get_networks_cb(): error received: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks - There are no wireless networks stored..
Aug 29 12:57:44 cbahimsa-gutsy kernel: [ 765.126842] APIC error on CPU0: 00(08)

Am now testing with noapic and nolapic in boot. I noticed from apic wikipedia that "It is also possible that I/O APIC causes problems with network interfaces based on via-rhine driver, causing a transmission time out."
