Kernel is updated in repo from 3.2.41 to 3.2.46 at 8/29.
@Jennifer: Check if you are running the newest version of kernel. If
not, update to newest. If it doesn't solve the problem, you could also
use 'stress' program to deliberately cause the crash. You could do it
from Live CD with different kernel version to see if the problem is
with your current kernel and find kernel version that works well.
You can use software from your HDD manufacturer to test HDD.
To test memory, you can use memtest86+.
To test CPU, you can use cpuburn.
To check your CPU and other temperatures/voltages you can use
lm-sensors.
