My guess is that it's something electrical (loose or intermittent
connection perhaps). I had a (employer provided) laptop for a
while that would work just fine if you'd open it up, turn it
on and keep it *very* still. But as soon as you picked it and
moved it, it would freeze up. The problem seemed to get worse
over time too.
