I cannot help either but can confirm that something is causing my, and my wife's, system to randomly lock up; the systems are 32-bit 11.4 with KDE and are desktop machines.
Yesterday I had just logged in and within about 20 seconds after getting the wallpaper up on the screen the system simply froze - no keyboard, no mouse, only way out was, and is when this occurs, is to hit the reset button.
But then it happened again while YaST2 was doing the Online updates. It was someway into downloading an rpm when the screen went black and everything was locked. Again it was the case for the reset button.
And only 1/2 hour ago my wife had just picked up her mail, went to read the first message and her system simply froze.
Another thing I noticed is that quite often after such a freeze trying to do a reboot does not work - the BIOS does not produce its normal "beep" when the computer is started. What I then have to do is to remove any power to the computer (switching off the power at the power supply unit), waiting for some 15 seconds, turning on the power and only then will the computer boot up again. This has made me wonder if the kernel is actually writing something to the BIOS (or some such). Very strange behaviour this, which never happened until, say, the beginning of this year or so.

Into the last week i have some problems with a new upgraded system. ThatI'm afraid I can't help you but I have also experienced this (or a very
system is worked well for 1 week, then the last weekend it locked up. It
is alive, terminal switching is working but if i write into the login
and press enter, it locks up. From the external, the machine answers to
the ping, but any service is present (syn-synack done), but no response
(connection hangs).
I am now thinking can be a problem of the new kernel, but i am not sure.
Can be also an hardware problem, i dunno... For that cause i need an
external opinion... What i can do to debug this?
similar) problem 2 or 3 times since 11.4 came out.
In my case I just used KDE programs when X locked up. I don't remember whether
I could still move the mouse pointer around but clicking definitely did not
work and neither did the keyboard - except I could switch to another terminal
with Ctrl-Alt-F1. There I could enter a login name but a password prompt did
not appear. Ping worked, sshd did not respond. After a while I was not able to
switch to a different terminal either. I had to reboot with a SysRq sequence.
I only got this far. As I said, this occurs very rarely so I have no idea how
to trigger or debug the problem. I have the same kernel version as you, my PC
is a custom built one.
