In my experience, this is, as you may have guessed, a problem with a piece of hardware attached to the system. Can you give some specs. on your system, especially any externally attached hardware, such as usb devices? My Mandrake system had trouble with an external zip drive attached to a pci secondary parallel port. I have also seen some sound cards hang the system. Please also incude specs. on RAM and processor type and speed.
