You didn't say what OS you're running. In my case I experienced the problems like yours starting with Leopard, becoming a daily nightmare of upwards of 19 kernel panics per day when I upgraded from 10.5.4. I went back to stability with 10.4.11, and gave the thing away to a Windows user after I couldn't find a local buyer willing to part with $300.
