Try leaving the mem test running for a while, see if it will do it with that running. Could have just been the dust too lol.

Well, I cleaned out a bunch of dust...maybe a heat problem caused some
weirdness.  I'm also running memtester on the live system...so far, so
good.  The machine is about 5 yrs old - maybe this is my excuse to build
myself another one.

The crash is weird, sometimes it crashes within a couple of minutes of
booting the system, and other times, it takes a week.  I still claim
that it started happening when I upgraded from SuSE 10.1 to Kubuntu
10.10, but I did open the case and install a new SATA hard drive at that
time as well.  This machine was an absolute rock when running SuSE 10.1.

We'll see what happens...thanks, everybody, for the helpful suggestions.

Later,

Andy
