Have you considered overheating? I had the same problems with my

Replaced the heat-sink cooling fan and reseated the heat-sink and
the problems were gone.
That was over four years ago and it is still running OS X Leopard
like a champion.
Yes ... I'm looking for some Arctic Silver 5 to try your idea. Thx
for the encouragement and optimism ...
Update: I tried switching mobo's (a previous one had an ethernet
problem), and got the same kp / random program crashing. I believe
this eliminates the mobo as the issue ... or at least decreases its
likelihood.
Use of Arctic Silver Cleaning Solutions and Thermal Paste replacement,
and at the same time, a more thorough mobo cleaning, eventually led to
the same issues.
(anyone know where I can get a couple of thermal pads I found on the
dual cpus? might be good to try replacing them at some point ...
wishing I could fix the L3 cache) ...
The L3 cache does not always appear in the System Profiler when I
could get the OS X 10.5.8 to Startup all the way. And Apple System
Profiler > Diagnostics shows the Power On Self Test "Failed" if the
L3 cache is not detected under Hardware.
Other symptoms: if I continue to run apps ... Mail and Mactracker
crash randomly.
Here's a link to a similar discovery sequence:

Seems like a solution would be to try and replace the Dual 1GHz cpu
daughter card.
I'm also looking into upgrading my computer to a G5 ... and try to fix
the QS at a later date ...
Anyone know how to repair / replace an L3 cache on a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz
cpu card?
