I haven't played long enough in other servers to see if this occurs elsewhere, but I play in the Valhalla RP server and after EXACTLY 30 minutes of gameplay, the entire game locks up and forces me to turn off my computer with the external power button, as I am unable to get my computer to respond to Ctrl-alt-del, alt f4, alt tab, etc.
This has forced me to get a timer and set it for 29 minutes and restart the game when it goes off to prevent this from happening, but I would, understandably, much prefer a longer, uninterrupted game experience.
I'm using MTA 1.0.3. I have downgraded to 1.0.2 recently, but the problem still occurred, so I switched back to 1.0.3.

I'm going to play in another server for 30 minutes and see if it freezes and then post back here. Has anyone had this issue? Anyone know how to fix?
