(Get the code!)
Ok...
Installed Ubuntu 9.10 (i.e. with Gnome) on a 5GB partition I had.
No freeze so far.
Also did a few tests on Windows XP and no freezes.
Is it possible that this problem is caused by KDE?
Another thing I noticed was this bug message in dmesg:
=====
[ 11.096177] EDAC amd64: This node reports that Memory ECC is currently disabled.
[ 11.096181] EDAC amd64: bit 0x400000 in register F3x44 of the MISC_CONTROL device (0000:00:18.3) should be enabled
[ 11.096183] EDAC amd64: WARNING: ECC is NOT currently enabled by the BIOS. Module will NOT be loaded.
[ 11.096185] Either Enable ECC in the BIOS, or use the 'ecc_enable_
[ 11.096186] Might be a BIOS bug, if BIOS says ECC is enabled
[ 11.096187] Use of the override can cause unknown side effects.
[ 11.096212] amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22
=====
Could it have anything to do with my problem?
I even got this message while running the Ubuntu 9.10 Live-CD!
I found no ECC (error-correcting code?) setting in the BIOS.

Note: It turns out the Ubuntu kernel comes with soft-lockup detection enabled, so recompiling is unnecessary.
At least "make menuconfig" showed it as enabled in the source gotten through apt-get.
Still, if recompiling with certain changes or settings is necessary, I'm willing to do it.
I just have absolutely no idea what to change or test right now.
