Do you really expect us to fix this bug without any other information?

You are probably experiencing a lockup, as many people since Intel 2.2
arrived unfortunately. Please send the whole output of
    /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1
so that we see your config and log. We need the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from
*after* the crash. If you can't save /var/log/Xorg.0.log by logging on
the machine through ssh after the lockup, you should restart the machine
and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (this is were the old log is stored
when a new session is started).

To work around the problem, you should try adding
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
to the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
