There are not many great ideas here; you just have to debug it.

Can you ssh into the machine from another computer?  If you can, run
"top" in a terminal window and see what is running when your machine
hangs.  If a particular process is taking all the time, try running
that process under gdb and see what it is doing.

good luck.
