If you didn't change anything then I'd say that there are some hardware problems. I'd check memory chips.try to replace them and see if the problem remains...

Hi Agrawal,

I agree with Alexander, it seems hardware is causing hangup machine, do one thing reinsert memory or swap it. Might be it will work.

Hi

Possible cause could be the NIC as well, are you using broadcom modules, if not please use those.

Cheers

Hi,

As hardware concern,check for the CPU cooling fan temperature & RPM.

Cooling is one of the main reason for hanging.

I think that may be a module that does not work correctly for your hardware, like disk/raid controller modules. Check /var/log/messages. I would suggest to configure a remote syslog server, I was able to find out in this way the cause of the hang. Also, configure the magic sysrq key. Try updating your kernel.
