I'm now pretty sure that it is a hardware failure of some type. Windows was stable last night for about four hours of compiling, graphics manipulations, etc. But, when I got home after being gone for several hours, Windows started exhibiting the same behavior. I presume it is Linux sensitivity to hardware that made it show up 5 days sooner. I'm presume, at this point, that it is either the motherboard or one of the processors.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Of the many messages I received, the following were good and relevant to my system and I will try them to see if it does make a difference.
1) Try disabling apm/acpi in bios (I had done this in the kernel, not in bios). 2) Try a uniprocessor kernel or booting with only one processor 3) mount /var synchronous to see if anything shows up in the logs (I had checked the logs and nothing was getting written to it. I had forgotten that you could make the whole file system synchronous; I'll try this.) 4) Increase voltage to the processors and see if it helps.
Per some other questions, I'm not using scsi nor do I have an intel 82801DB chip onboard.
Thanks again for the help.
