I don't necessarily mean the video - kernel panics are rarely to do
with something that far removed from the CPU. I mean test the hardware
of your computer.
First, check the memory - MemTest86+ is the tool most people use for
this. Run it on your system and it will highlight memory problems. It
can be found at www.memtest.org - the precompiled versions are tiny and
will fit on a floppy (or memory stick or CD).
If that doesn't detect anything try running a hardware diagnostic -
there's a load on the UBCD (www.ultimatebootcd.com) or Hiren's BootCD (
www.hiren.info). You might want to download one of those anyway as
they both contain MemTest86+.
None of this needs you to open the case.
