Try shutting it down once in a while. Very similar situation just happened to the intern here.
She hadn't shut down her computer (a 1.6 G5) in about 2 months and finally it said 'fuck you' and the screen started to go black and freeze up.
It's your CPU overheating. If you download a cpu temperature tracker widget I bet money your computer once on again will do the same thing when it hits 152 degrees.
The problem with her computer was 1) she never shut it down which led to 2) her front cooling fan started to work like shit and let the CPU overheat thus shutting down the system.
Open the case up and pull out all fans and blow some canned air into the center to clean them off. Put them back in and hope for the best.
