[MacTUG] System crash and then

[Ian Turner]

I would guess hardware, maybe memory, maybe logic board???

any external devices connected? if so remove them first to eliminate 
that possibility.

try "d" booting the original system disk and running diagnostics, or at 
least, run TechTool Pro - you did buy Applecare, didn't you?

IST Techs have more diagnostics and have always found our problems!
