That's why I'm not entirely convinced it's the video drivers that are the only cause.  I get the feeling that there's more to it
than that but can't capture any relevant data as the hangs sometimes occur while I'm actually doing something and other times they
happen when the machine is in screensaver mode.  And when I say it hangs, I mean it hangs hard, no keyboard response, no network,
nothing.  I thought I may have a hardware issue but I've run multiple tests and even taken it in to a repair shop and we've not
found any hardware issues.
