Maverick freezes

At occasions the new Maverick OS seem to freeze.
All was perfectly ok before the upgrade.
Since I work as a computer technician and have a lot of programs installed it migth be so that Maverick is trying stuff it should'nt bother about.

I dont know really why it just freezes and it does not confine to just some special app.

Many times during the day keyboard input just freezes and I have to wait until text is updated.
However keyboard buffer seem to work so if I keep on typing command and text comes after freeze releases.

I have had three of these Maverick freezes on 10.9.3. All occured while browsing in Firefox 29.0.1. On the last one, the system log file just before the freeze was:

... boot up

I have unchecked the Displays with separate spaces and hope that cures it for the timebeing until Apple get a fix out.

I'm getting the same thing with 10.9.3 on a 3.33 imac Intel Core 2 duo. Never had crashing problems at all up to now. Freezing up and crashing at least once a day requiring multiple restarts before the video display comes alive again and I can log back in.

Is thisrelated to graphics related? Happens when I'm watching or working with video in particular.

Is this article relevant?

Sometimes after a restart, it will give me reinstall and disk utility options. I go through the disk utility and there are no issues.

Sometimes it won't recognize the bluetooth mouse or keyboard after a restart.

Cannot access diagnostics from restart. While holding D on restart, just getting a white screen.

I have been running my Macbook Air with EFI Firmware Update 2.8 installed (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1749) for the last 4 days with Displays with separate spaces enabled. So far, no more freezes.

Spoke too soon. Still freezing with same error messages.

I got 4 freezes today while using Safari and Sparrow. I was connected via thunderbolt to an external screen. Never had any issues before.

The consol log shows this error: 21.07.14 16:37:00.454 Safari[467]: CGSCopyDisplayUUID: Invalid display 0x18f88983
