Thanks I killed the screensaver daemon and also disbabled the startup for the screensaver. I don't know why it's causing it to freeze but I left alone for about an hour and came back to check and it seems to be fine now.
Is there something different from live installation then the installation image? It seems to started causing problems after I re-installed used the installation image.
Edit: frozed again. I previously checked those log before I decided to post anything.

OK. I had issues with suspend and hibernate on my laptop, and delved into the whole shebang a bit.
First off, I prefer ubuntu and friends for desktops - Mint in my case. More work has gone into the sordid details of what users want.
Secondly the issues of what happens under power saving modes, suspend and hibernate, is icky in the extreme.
I suspect the lappiue is configured to do powersaving on idle or even hibernate or suspend.
POwersaving is at three levels.
1/. Underclock te CPU, turn the backlight off and probably that's it
2/. Halt the CPU and kill the graffix, and just feed enough power to keep the RAM alive.
3/. Swap all the memory out to disk and shut the machine down, so essentially you reboot to 'where you were'
Now this is all fine and dandy, but what about some hardware? Graphics cards have their own memory..and they need special calls to reload. Nvidia legacy drivers simply do not work right coming out of suspend. So if there is special hardware in the lappie that may need fiddling with various low level parameters to get it back FROM suspend or whatever.
This isn't the answer, but it may help ID where to look for it.
