Fresh install of 11.3 straight from the stable repos.
With fair frequency the machine locks hard. Needs a power cycle.
I often do, but may not see this in var/log/messages.

the base install has only KDE4.41.
it Originally came up with Vesa drivers.
I installed radeon.
started seeing the crash.
I installed FGLRX 8.77 (amazingly, without a hitch)
no impact.
I reinstalled Firefox, Konqueror, and Chrome.
I removed Flash.
I installed the last 3 flash versions. one at a time.
I unplugged Everything USB. I removed the USB Stack.
And the Bluez stack.
I updated Xorg.
I reinstalled Mesa.
I reinstalled Radeon.
Got a pile of complaints about EDID because I use a CRT.
At the moment, it’s setup like I’d like it to be.
