*Sometimes she boots, sometimes she doesn't. Or sometimes she dies..*
(1) Check hardware. It sounds like bad interaction between OS and hardware.
(2) Check content of /etc/conf.d/local.start and /etc/conf.d/local.stop and remove all items in there to debug.
(3) Change to another kernel. If you are using heavily patched kernel try vanilla sources or vice versa.
(4) Check kernel config and disable options you don't need like SMP for example.
(5) Check ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xsession to see what programs are being started and run top to see CPU hogs.
(6) Check X logs and dmesg | tail to check what is happening when computer begins to die.
(7) Check /etc/modules.autoload to see that contents are correct.
Shot in the dark. Good luck.
