Xorg freeze

[Darin Gillenwater]

My system will freeze completely at random anytime I'm using a graphic intensive program. For example, the Steam app, SuperTuxKart or most recently while watching a movie online in Firefox and while using my HDMI output to TV. This happens with or without the HDMI. When the freeze occurs, there is nothing short of holding the power button and doing a hard reboot that will stop it.
