Thanks for all of the postings/suggestions,

I have looked at the video driver, it is using the RADEON driver, is 
there possibly a problem with the generic/oem cards?

I tried running memtest for a few hours, several times.

One thing I have noticed, a couple of the times before the system 
shutdown was it started doing a DHCPREQUEST for eth0 (built into the 
MB)  about once every minute, the last time, it did that for about 12 
hours starting at 6pm, and continued until the system shutdown at 2am...

I was on the system until about midnight, but didnt even notice it was 
having this issue....

Also, I did get sensors running, and it shows a couple of numbers being 
off... below is what sensors currently telling me, The one that seems to 
always be out of whack is VCore2... could this be sensors not reporting 
correctly or more likely a problem with my power supply?  Thanks again 
for any suggestions, unfortunatelly, I require this sytem for my daily 
work, so its pretty tough for me to debug this very quickly...
