I have also experianced numerous crashes, even with the machine idling.
i.e. no programs running or program running but not doing a thing for
couple of minutes and than suddenly the machine would crash.
My solution was to use the "off" radio button, uncheck auto monitoring,
and do manual optimization by checking the "on" button and optimizing.
