I had a similar sort of crash with 2.2.5 trying to update it to current.
I thought it was memory too, but reseating that had no effect.
Then I noticed that the CPU fan had come unstuck (it doesn't have a clip
like it probably should). After putting the fan back, the system has
run reliably since. So as a long shot, is there enough air flow to
keep the processor "cool"? 8-)
