You are right, albi!  Turning off ACPI took care of the lock up.  Thanks!

I do miss the power management, though.  Now I need to figure out
how to turn off just the part that is causing the problem.

I am currently trying to remove all the XFree86 and kde modules from
5.2.1 so that I can put in the Xorg stuff from 5.3.  If there's a
procedure for that somewhere, that'd be awesome.
