Comment 57 for bug 553745

The system (input, mainly) just freezes out of nowhere, apparently at random with no specific cause. Only keyboard and touchpad stop working, but system itself seems to be normal, some animated stuff (dropbox tray icon, for instance) keeps working. When I press the power button, the Shutdown dialog shows up asking if I want to shut down, suspend, log out, etc, but of course, I can't do anything besides waiting for automatic shutdown. The same problem has also happened on Windows XP (I have dual boot), so it might be a hardware thing. I use a Asus EeePC 1008HA, Intel Atom. The disk check freeze has also occurred a few times, and none has completed in full, stopping around 91%.
