When the computer freezes, try to access via ssh and see if it responds.
If you can login from ssh, the problem may reside in X server that locks
your system while if you can neither login, the problem could be in the
kernel that hard or soft locks (oops).
Is there something of interest in the system logs?

You mean the same happens with either driver (open and closed)? That's
weird, it can be also a hardware problem :-?

Just in case, try by disabling any 3D desktops effects (if any) and you
may also test with another DE, different than KDE.
