The most obvious one would be "bad hardware".

my 7.0 intallation began freezing at random, without any log messages
or anything. Same thing happens on a fresh installation of 6.3. Often
the screen flickers, and blacks out, as if the screen conection was
loose or something, but it isnt. And I cant seem to pinpoint the
problem, to any certain area. Though the windows installtion (dual
boot) works completely fine.

When you say it "freezes" is the machine still ping'able from another
machine in your network?
You could start a script like "vmstat 1 >> /tmp/vmstat.log" or similar
which runs all the time to get one of the latest log entries.
/var/log/messages is really empty when your box freezes?
Is X running while this is happening?

regards,
Marian
