You can?  That's interesting.  When you do so, is there nothing interesting
in the `dmesg' output?

This means that there's no point in setting up a serial console or anything.

If you can still connect to the machine, then what do you mean by "it
freezes"?  Just that the X interface is wedged up?

If so, run `top' and `ps aux', see if some process is stuck spinning in a
loop or something.

Could it just be that the keyboard/mouse have gone bad?

What happens if you do `sudo killall X' when logged in over the network? 
Does the X server terminate?  Can it be restarted?

etcetera....
