I have ruled out CPU and graphic over utilization - as well as heavy
network traffic.  I also just experienced this phenomenon on my newish
Thinkpad X220 with an i7-2620 processor and Intel graphics card - 8Gig
memory and 512 SSD - I had to reboot because the whole system was
unresponsive.

I have yet to find the cause, and the logs up to this point are not
helping . . . maybe I should file a bug, but want to see if this is
machine specific or something more serious with the latest kernels.

Cheers,
R.Fox
