This is not really an answer but perhaps a place for some further
investigation. I had a system with an nvidia card that exhibited the
same symptoms you are describing. I isolated it to some interaction
with one of a set of screen savers and the video driver. If I stopped
using the screen savers I no longer had the problem. If I changed to
the vendor drivers I didn't have the problem. Before I could do any
more investigation I ran an update on the system, which included a new
kernel and video drivers and the problem was gone.
It might be worth investigating the video systems and the screen savers.
HTH, sorry I don't have a real "solution" for you.
