Does it crash when idle or only when you are doing something. If the
former then flip to a text console before leaving it and you should get a
trace on console.

Also see if turning off screensavers magically helps for the idle case


lspci says your box is utterly generic - no unusual hardware of note and
nothing that stands out as likely to be iffy. Is it solid under other OS
products do you know ?
