Strange X freezing problem RH7.3

I've got an up-to-date linux machine running RH 7.3 and XFree86-4.2.0-8. A very odd problem occurs. If I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 - F7, it will switch. But then as soon as I switch back to CTRL+ALT+F7, the display locks up.
Remotely logging in shows linux is still running but on the physical console, it is totally unresponsive. Killing X and allowing X to restart will fix it... again switching terminals again.
Anybody heard of this? Are there any config or log files in particular I should be looking at?
Thanks.
