This is interesting - I very occasionally get 'freezes' of a somewhat
similar nature on the Iyonix, and I have a suspicion that
screensaving may be implicated in some way.
On the ARMini I haven't had the freezes I mentioned for a wee while,
certainly for most of Dec, although I haven't been using it so much
recently (it's set up in the spare room and we have had visitors over
Xmas), but I believe it might be caused by the USBdrivers in some
way. There seems to be no way of bringing the keyboard/mouse back to
life, and yet as you say, apps continue to run, and the machine can
be accessed over ShareFS and files transferred etc with no problem.
It is obviously not the complete USB system if USB connected drives
still function. My keyboard and mouse are connected to the rear usb
ports, while all the drives are connected to the OTG hub. If it
happens again, I'll try transferring the K/M to the front ports.

Maybe Andrew should think about the carrier he uses. Mine had had
quite a bash when it arrived - sufficient to shear two of the plastic
pins holding the front panel on, and the HD had also partly come
adrift (it was secured by sticky pads). Since a bit of superglue
seemed to put things to right (on the FP pins, not the HD!), I never
followed it up.
