Jul 23, 2011 4:34 PM in response to rubenlxby inhalewaste,I'm afriad to say I'm having the exact same issue since upgrading to Lion. I'm on a base 2011 21" iMac. The freeze occurs randomly when attempting to play Quicktime or Flash videos (youtube, etc.) online. It is completely random, and the computer will freeze entirely, except for the mouse cursor. But I cannot click on anything, nor force quit. Only solution seems to be a hard reset with the power button.
Ran hardware dianostics and found no problems wiht hard drive or RAM. Hope fix is coming soon...

Jul 23, 2011 11:20 PM in response to rubenlxby iFrodo,Simple question:
Did you do an update or a clean install?
If it's an update look at the logs (via Console.app) at about the times when you got these freeezes and try to find a culprit. Try updating Flash (try the beta 64bits version 11 for example), and try to remove all third party codecs for Quicktime (remove everything that is inside /Library/Quicktime (don't forget to backup them before doing so).
If you don't achieve to find one, try a clean install: boot on the new recovery partition and format your system partition using disk utility provided int his mode, then install Lion.
Of course, don't forget to do a backup before trying the clean install!

Jul 24, 2011 3:08 AM in response to rubenlxby andrewfromwest sacramento,I have a brand new 21.5 upgraded model with 1TB. In installed Lion and immediately started having this problem with videos and YouTube. Does Apple usually respond in the forums or at least acknowledge that they're working on a fix? This is a crazy error to get on a new computer /OS.

Jul 24, 2011 4:17 AM in response to rubenlxby mattfromnewtown,If you're still under warranty, call the support line and let them know about this problem. If enough calls are about the same problem I would hope Apple will move a little quicker to remedy this.

Jul 24, 2011 4:30 AM in response to kirkmcby Pierre-Yves 1,I encountered exactely the thame issue on my brand new i7 3,4GHz iMac 27" w/ 256Go SSD 4Go DRAM : all apps/finder freezed, only a useless moving mouse pointer. I still could remotely log on the iMac using ssh, but I couldn't avoid to do a hard reset (power off) to get rid of the freeze. The problem does not systematically occurs but happened to me while visiting websites integrating videos (flash, not sure).
when looking at the console, many debug info messages can be seen :
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: ** Device in slot: SLOT--1 **
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: 0x00006720
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: 0x0000008f
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: 0x00000001
23/07/11 12:47:50,000 kernel: 0x00000018
....
I guess we only have to wait for Apple techs to polish the new Lion
