    Good point -- this may be more of a "freeze" than a "crash" -- the system
    does not reboot, and remains minimally responsive (eg, you can ping it).
    My original message describes the damage in more detail.

    Thanks to all for the replies. First, I'm going to do some memory tests
    and then possibly try swapping out the video (as I have a spare card I can
    plug in). After that, I'm not sure...
