I would approach it this way: - Wiggle all cables, reseat all components (you never know...) - Check CPU cooling (I had CPU-related sig 11 crashes once myself) - If CPU cooling is OK, try underclocking the CPU; if it is marginal this may make it stable, and then you will know. - Swap in a different power supply (a flaky PS can do all KIND of weird things.) - Swap in different RAM (or test RAM with memtest86) If you can rule out CPU, RAM, PS... post a followup. Good luck!
