Many computers with 855GM graphics chipset is affected by bug 541511,
which will hang the GPU but not bring down the network connection
(unless it is managed by the X session). There is an upstream fix for
that issue, which has not made it into the mainline kernels yet and
there are even references to pre-compiled kernel binaries in the
comments that you may try.

You may also try one of the newest mainline builds from [1] (see [2] for
information), just in case this is a different problem which has been
fixed in a newer kernel.

If the problem persists, I suppose setting up a netconsole [3] may make
it possible to get some more information out of the computer when it
hangs.
