I reinstalled CentOS. Just used the default repositories. It just dies. The screen suddenly goes dark and I cannot do anything. Other virtual teminals are unreachable.

I cannot try to remote in from another computer because I do not have another computer.
After a couple of the crashes, I've seen pages of orphan nodes in the / partition. Eventually I did yet another install using another / partition. Fewer orphan nodes.
I've looked in /var/{dmesg,Xorg.0.log,messages}, but did see anything that looked like a killer. That might be because I do not know what I am looking for.
Any suggestions on where else I should look or what I should be looking for?
I take you eliminated hardware issues already, right? The orphan node thing kinda scares me. Second, how about if you configure grub not to boot in graphical mode (http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/35143-boot-fedora-grub... You know, no X or anything like that; you can always start it manually later. In other words, let's get machine running first.
