I have solved the mystery finally(or so it seems). The Toshiba Satellite
A205-S4577 has a faulty capacitor under the CPU socket that is part of the
power management (ACPI) system. This capacitor seems to be sending a
non-maskable interrupt, which is what causes the freeze.
Under Windows 7 this can be worked around, by entering the Device Manager and
selecting the CPU(s) then right click and disable. This apparently disables
some of the more specific advanced power saving features of the processor. This
definitively stabilizes the computer.
Under Linux, I have not yet attempted the fix since I'm just happy having this
computer stable finally. In another forum, the user reports an effective
workaround by adding the additional 'acpi_skip_timer_override' parameter to the
boot line in GRUB.
