Try disabling your sound card, so that sound drivers do not load 
at all.  Then try starting and stopping X.  If that solves it, 
then the sound drivers are potentially buggy.

Another common problem is APM.  Disable APM in your BIOS, and 
disable apmd from being loaded at OS boot time.

If neither suggestion works, it could be an X bug possibly, or 
perhaps something else.
