I'm (obviously) a huge Fedora advocate, but I will echo what others have
said - if your system is locking up, I would look at hardware, not software.

Have you run memtest86 against your system to make sure you don't have
flaky memory?  I recently had a formerly rock solid Dell system become
seriously wonky and after much wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth
discovered a memory module had gone south.  Once I replaced it the
system was back to running like a top.
