Can you ssh in from another box and keep an eye on it while it is
leading up to the problem?
I had something similar happening in *minutes* with Xfree86 and either
GNOME or Xfce4.
The only process showing a problem was X itself, going from 4-5% CPU
load to a rapid but trackable ramp up to 98%+ before it made even 'top'
useless.
The fix was to use *neither* the nVidia Generic, nor the card-specific
nVidia driver, but rather 'generic VESA'
Stable since then 24 X 7 for about a week so far.
Card here was an elderly nVidia TNT-2 with 32 MB of RAM.
