Leaving your computer idle over night for a couple of nights will either trigger the issue and you will find your computer freezed or it will not. Idle freeze usually happens from 15-30 minutes up to some hours.

It should be noted here that there are two kinds of idle freeze. In the first one (discussed here) compurer locks but if you press reset button it reboots fine. The second one is related to memory/cpu overclock and computer freezes completely (in overclock.net it is called "black screen freeze on idle") and pressing reset button does nothing - you have to completely power off. This second one also happens under Windows. So, in order to test reliably don't overclock CPU and RAM - meaning that RAM should run at max 2400 MHz.
