As other posts have pointed out, if you have BAD HDMA cables, you will experience problems. One thing I would suggest is that you add kernel.* /dev/console to your /etc/syslog.conf so that you see any errors resulting from the kernel code. Also I would suggest that you open another virtual terminal and leave tail -f /var/log/messages and keep an eye on it when the system could possibly crash. This should help you out a little bit.
