This is a pretty bizarre crash. It might be a hardware problem. Try running a 
load intensive task, something that heats your CPU up, for a long period. See 
if it lasts longer than 30 minutes..

Another thing you could try doing was eliminating X completely, by using 
mplayer on a vesafb console..
