Kernel version?
Your mainboard?
nVidia driver version?
Which version of xorg/XFree86?
Link to your xorg.conf/XF86Config ?
Type of mouse/keyboard?
Do you have anything interesting in your /var/log/messages for the time when things locks up?

With older nVidia driver there was a possibility to cause things happen when surfing, of course normal sites should work without any problem, but some shady sites may have used the coded needed to make things go badly.

I do suggest you update the graphics driver to the latest that supports the graphics chip on your mainboard.
