My freeze does not appear related to the computer load.  If often
freezes with very light desktop usage.  But it does appear to be
related to the desktop usage, not any application in particular.  So
the suspicion is that it's video related.  For now, I'm using nv
driver.  It's been good so far (for a day or so).
