I've been having the same issue:

Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
MSI Z77A-G43
16GB RAM DDR3
Using onboard graphics

- The machine randomly freezes. It completely locks up, ie. keyboard cap locks indicator won't even change, mouse cursor won't move, screen is completely stuck.

I seemed to have fixed this problem by installing the Liquorix kernel - http://liquorix.net/
Unity is now a bit less responsive, but Gnome 3 is great. No freezes since using this new kernel.

So clearly there's an issue with the Ubuntu kernel.
