Or a hardware bug. I always try things like running memtest86+ and
examining logs for disk errors or SMART messages, or use smartctl to
run tests on the disk.
I recently solved a completely frozen system problem by changing
sata cables and switching to a different sata port (so don't neglect
checking the simple stuff either).
