Judging from previous reports of similar problems, it sounds like hardware.
Overheating ? Bad memory ? Mobo failure somewhere ?

Thanks for the replies.
It only did it once. I figured it might possibly be a hardware failure since I'm using used parts/refurbished parts, but I was wanting to know if I can check any log files to see exactly why, or enable some form of extended logging to pick it up if it happens again. I use syslog-ng for my system logger. I checked /var/log/messages and didn't find anything. Here is the last line before it froze from that log file and the first line immediately after:
