Hey Jimm -
Are you using rctools by any chance ? I had the random (yet
consistent) crashes about a month ago. All the crashes were pointing to
a graphic card related issue - they were all happening when clicking or
making operations that required a ppg to open.
After sending about 20 cab files to soft, it turned out all the
crashes were caused by rctools. I couldn't believe it at first cuz it
didn't seem to make sense, but sure enough, I uninstalled it and crashes
were gone...
Was happening with 5.0 with some qfe versions. Haven't tried with 5.1
but will soon find out - I miss rctools too much.
