I am also having this issue. I'm using the latest nvidia driver with a fresh install of Ibex on a new laptop.

It seems to be related to either firefox or certain network operations. There are certain websites that if I go to it will happen 100% of the time. IE: farechase.yahoo.com, or kohanaphp.com. KohoanaPHP.com is the easiest to reproduce.

1. Boot ubuntu
2. load firefox
3. visit http://www.kohanaphp.com/

Can someone verify my claim that a) it seems to be network/firefox related, and b) that www.kohanaphp.com causes their system to become unresponsive?

I know it sounds crazy, but I'm having this same issue, and this pretty much always reproduces it.
