Not me, have not had such an issue. make sure you are completely yum-updated for a start.
Always. Done nightly. :)

I guess the reason why no one has replied to your post so far is that its hard to work out or even think about such issues without some more
context.
Do you have proprietary drivers installed for anything ? ndiswrapper for wifi ? grfx drivers for nvidia or ati ? Could there be a network
issue ?
Only thing I'm running that isn't in the repo's is the nVidia driver for my Geforce FX550.
Oh, Thnx for the reply!!

Please try to update your nVidia Driver to the current level version and see if that solves your problem. Make sure you are using the X config file that is generated by the driver and do not add anything to it (as in options). Some options if your mother board can not handle or support it, it will freeze lockup etc.
Let me Know how it goes..
