If my software set-up's have not been monkey'd with for some time and the 
machine just started crashing and doing so more regularly, I would first 
check the hardware.

My AMD began thrashing and rebooting a week or so after the blackout. Nothing 
was added, updated or removed. What I found were a couple bad CAPS in the 
power supply and a fully mature dust bunny beneath the CPU fan.

I replaced the PS and flushed the bunny and all is well again...
