This issue is very similar to "2.6.7-ck5 System hangs under constant load".
My system sometimes hangs when a task that eats 100% of the CPU is stopped. The longer the task was running, the more chance the system have to hang. I'm using the nvidia's display driver binary module, BUT the problem was here before. I've discovered that when I disable the athlon powersaving mode with the athcool utility, the system doesn't hang. The powersaving mode is enabled by default:
[root@mandarine root]# athcool stat athcool version 0.3.5 - enabling/disabling Athlon Powersaving mode [warning message] nVIDIA nForce2 (10de 01e0) found 'Halt Disconnect and Stop Grant Disconnect' bit is enabled.
