Ok,
I've made those changes, and while it has improved, it has not stopped the freezing issues. What sort of data can I show that might help identify the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Those arent crashlogs, anyway, remove tracktv addon.
install gdb
Code:
sudo apt-get install gdb
the crashlogs are in different directory.

xbmc_crashlog wasn't being created with the last few occurrences, the entire system locks up (unable to ping or remotely connect via SSH) requiring a power cycle.
I've installed gdb and will report back (will also properly remove tracktv via the ui).

I am continuing to get the same symptoms even after the changes that you suggested. What is the gdb and should I install it as well?

Finally a positive post! It's been 24 hours since my last update where I upgraded the Nvidia drivers according to the FAQ and I've had no lock-ups, freezes, or crashes.
The lack of crash logs was a strong indication that it wasn't directly caused by XBMC, specifically the fact that I wasn't getting kernel crash logs pretty clearly showed that it was either hardware or driver related. Since The system ran just fine with the previous OS (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) (and I'm talking about 6 hours between using the old OS/Eden and XBMCbuntu locking up the first time) I knew (hoped) it wasn't a hardware issue. The htpc has been in use throughout the day in different ways, I've watched several episodes without any problems, listened to some music, and the library has been updated a couple times.
I could even say that the system is a bit more responsive and smooth.
Edit: Still had lockups even after rebuilding, installing nvidia-experimential-304 appears to have corrected things.
