I noticed my cpu and memory weren't supported by the version of BIOS on my mobo so I flashed it and then started a mprime torture test. about 2 hours in I experienced a full system freeze. I thought the whole point of the torture test was that the program was designed to quit long before the OS had any issue. What do you all make of that? I read that my mobo was having issues with 2 x2GBdimms so I've taken one out and we'll see if that works.

Solved!!!! I checked around in BIOS and my memory was timed incorrectly! 9-9-9-24 became 7-7-7-18 and now the system has run through mprime torture blend test at 100% cpu and 98.7% ram capacity for almost 11 hours. passed the test all the way through twice, so I'm going to go ahead and claim victory and any more system hangs will be blamed on a new problem XD.

Since I added a bunch of that junk in the device section of Xorg.conf and played with my bios i managed almost 2 days without a crash. Then today I've crashed 5 times. I've run mprime tests for several hours without issue, so I figure it's got to be software. These seize ups strike me as way too random and sparse for a hardware issue (especially since I ran my processor and memory at 100% for 12 hours on mprime without forcing a crash). If anyone sees anything or lack of anything that might help me please don't hesitate to post. At this point I don't have the money to get replacement parts so I might just end up waiting for a -Syu to fix it mysteriously (I wish >.<).

I got this problem too, and when system freeze, the light of keyboard num lock and mouse if turned off!
