Comment 69 for bug 1217585

Hi

I am getting the same situation. Fresh install of Fedora 16 x86_64 last weekend, fully patched. I tend to get the complete freeze when I am watching a video. I first thought that windowing it and messing in Firefox was the cause, but one of the four freezes today (yes, four) was while watching fullscreen and my hands were nowhere near the keyboard!

I have also noticed that NO keys work after the crash - can't turn NumLock off or CapsLock on. But after a little while, the HDD light may flicker occasionally.
