What kind of CPU do you have..?
What operating system..?

My AMD Athlon 600MHz also freezed while playing Quake on Linux. After a 
month of hardcore searching I found it's a "Athlon bug". As far as I know 
Athlons up to 1GHz may be affected. There are workarounds for Linux and 
Windows.

That's a wild guess. You probably have another problem. But maybe someone 
with this damn "Athon bug" is reading this posting, and this may be a help.
