Shucks, replacement of bios did not fix.

Just happened again, but after 30 minutes of similar actions.
Did not do much work yesterday had other things to do.

Once again seems to be related to accessing a drop down data list in the 
browser.
Not the identical symptom, previously at least twice symptom was access 
the arrow to display a selection list so you can select from the list, 
you get a black box instead of the list.
This time just pressed the arrow to get the list and window manager no 
longer responds to mouse clicks or the key board.  As before the mouse 
icon does still move.  As before I can shell in from another workstation 
and reboot.

I previously thought that my browser had become damaged so I uninstalled 
Chromium and installed Chrome from the web.

I have Firefox laying there I will switch usage and see if the bug is in 
the browser logic.
Not irrational, as prior to the freeze I had done a dozen or so very 
similar actions all involving drop down lists.   Could be the browser is 
not properly handling the memory with this feature.
