[DM-MUG] 3 crashes in 3 days

[Jim Turner]

Victoria,

    Not that it'll prevent a reformat and reinstall, but  under the
top-level Library folder, then Logs folder for a file called "panic.log". 
It's the crash dump the kernel creates before it dies.  It might give
you an indication of what's causing the problem and save you some time... 
Then again, it might just be a bunch of memory registers and jibberish.
