Does the freeze always happen in the same place while compiling those packages? |

If not, I would suspect hardware problems, e.g. overheating due to poor ventilation |
| 10 |
of the CPU, or memory chips that are going bad. |

When I have random malfunctions like you describe, I open the computer case and spray |
| 13 |
the dust off of everything using compressed air. If that doesn't fix the problem I |
| 14 |
run memtest86 overnight to find failing memory chips. |

One of those two steps usually fixes the problem for me. |

Also, you could rule out bugs in the nvidia driver by trying to compile chromium |
| 19 |
or openoffice from a console terminal (i.e. while X is not running). |
