Not sure if it's the same, but I encounter short and less-shorts hangs
apparently due to power-management here (Dell D810, within GNOME). I
tried shutting down haldaemon as well as playing w/ hal
polling, /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs and
/proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq, but I could not feel a difference
(it's sometimes not easy to reproduce) in definitive it could seem to
be more related to gnome-power-management (I got it crashed and felt
better from a desktop PoV!).

See several related issues I've reported:
