Your explanation does make sense. When the screen freezes the cursor still moves and changes to reflect what it's over (arrow, hand, insertion cursor), but the rest of the screen doesn't get updated. The screen is otherwise frozen and changes you make, like moving a window, aren't seen until a force reboot.
To monitor the computer operation I like to display the time in the menu bar with seconds (Is the core system frozen?) and for details keep the Activity Monitor running on the side.
Set the date and time on your Mac - Mac Help
Activity Monitor overview - Activity Monitor Help
If you can bring the Activity Monitor to the forground when this happens you may be able to see what is hanging up and troubleshoot from there.
For troubleshooting details then, see
Isolating issues in Mac OS X - Apple Support
Take care.
