My CPU architecture doesn't support 64-bit. I would say that I do high
I/O Operations though. I have a 2TB Seagate external HDD and often move
~60 gigs or so around, compress about that amount in 7z (encrypted),
bulk rename thousands of files, and some other things with scripts.
Also, I usually have several tabs in Firefox when this happens. If it
were lack of CPU though; I'd expect the effect to be immediate, but I
have the tabs open for a while without issue.

sometimes my lock screen doesn't display the password popup on a monitor ( or more
accurately displays it on a monitor it is not displaying anything on). When I type my
password it unlocks and both screens then display as normal.

Please file bugs. I haven't come across these situations while using
gnome3. The screen freeze does happen if you're using a 64bit kernel and
making high i/o related operations. Its a kernel bug, fixed in 3.2
