Dave, Yup. Had a feeling that you might be right about that one.
It seems that the computer will still crash, but certainly not as often. My guess: there is a bigger problem that is aggravated when the computer is under more stress; ie: tracking excessive amounts of kernel complaints, etc. I've also noticed difficulties with the sound system and have had the computer crash a number of times when playing music (could be the media player or the sound system itself, but I still think that the problem is bigger yet). Ideas for a next step? Is there more information that I can submit to <hopefully> throw out the possibility of a hardware problem, or to determine which piece of hardware is at fault? Thanks again for all of your help.
