I am also experiencing random lockups with a PIII 400Mhz test system.
It has a nvidia video card installed. I was using their binary driver
but removed it and am just using the supplied 2d one. I still get the
random freezes.
I noticed that I always get a kernel oops complaining about a virtual
paging problem when I check the logs. I am still trying to resolve this
but it does appear that when I set the screen saver to just a blank page
the problem goes away.
