Do you have more than one dmesg in /var/log? I have dmesg and dmesg.0,
the latter of which is an old dmesg specifically for situations like
this. Old kern.log's and syslog's might also have interesting errors.

You could probably also SSH into your frozen computer, but I'm really no
expert at this.

You might also want to try disabling Desktop Effects (compiz) through
System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects (Tab). Also pay
attention to whether you've hibernated or suspended anytime before the
freeze.

After those, try the mainline kernel [1]. Download and install the _all
headers, the i386 headers, and the i386 image.

(And yes, it's as easy as adding .txt to its filename.)
