I think both my video cards are ok. Another kp yesterday morning, amongst Spotlight Indexing (Sibelius things?) indicated the video card again ... so, I removed it and cleaned the contacts, removing a small amount of something with alcohol and hard cotton swab. Also cleaned out the AGP slot with a vacuum cleaner and long plastic low-flow attachment (carefully). So far it seems to be running again, but since I am close to end of Warranty, I went on and put in for an RMA. Know of any way to test such a thing other than watch it with repeated startups? >> >> Several of the crash logs show mdworker failed. It is part of >> Spotlight's indexing system.

Sibelius suggested removing SibeliusScore.mdimporter from its app package. Simple enough. Now no kps due to that, but could feel loss of capability of Spotlight along with this solution. Thanks again for helping clean up this mess: M-Audio, Sibelius, ATI ... is this an OS X 10.5.6 test of 3rd party folks? I may be partially to blame for trying to use Tiger and Leopard off the same application installations ... well same for the app package; separate, for whatever each put on the OS X partitions.
