"Lock up" is still a bit vague unfortunately. It tells you something bad's happening in the kernel, but doesn't tell you what.

If it really is video problems, using the VESA driver instead of trying to use a native Intel one may stop the freezing.

Also, did you ever try any kernel boot options, like "irqpoll"? I had a board that would lock up Linux quickly because the BIOS gave it faulty IRQ assignments. "irqpoll" helped at the cost of some performance. Also worth a try are "noapic" and "noacpi".
