This type of problem sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue. It's quite possible that you have bad RAM, or are having an overheating problem of some kind. Perhaps the CPU/powersupply/RAM or some other hardware is overheating. Or it could even be faulty power, however in overheating situations, hardware lockups/crashes are more likely to occur. Try this: http://www.memtest86.com Leave it running for 12+ hours to really test out RAM heavily. Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
