The lock could come from different sources, either software based locks
(X server, kernel soft/hard lock...) or hardware ones (a device failure,
such as bad ram, micro over-heating, a problem with the power supply, a
hard disk issue...).
I would start by discarding X first (of course, if you are not running an
X server there's no need to try this ;-) ), so can you "ssh" to the
machine when it gets freezed?
