What I would do:

* Check /var/log/syslog to see if anything shows up there just before
the crash point.
* Update video drivers. (I'm seeing a lot of X11 hangs on the
open-source Radeon drivers right now.)
* Install sshd and see if it still has network access after the hang,
and, if so, try restarting X11.
