I finally figured why my machine was crashing on me and hopefull this may help others.
I replaced just about everything (hardware, software) and the culprit was a bad Ti
4200 video card. The thing still works fine for day to day use (e.g. web, MS apps,
etc.) but when pushed by a game (almost any game) it dumps after about 1 minute of
play. I replaced it with a PNY FX 5200 and all is well.
