Does it freeze in OS X still?

Replace PRAM battery, reset SMU, do a thermal recalibration via ASD.
Every time the SMU crashes it starts eating battery...usually a few days
before it's spent (although it may still read a reasonab le voltage).

Replace all RAM, I think Nathan's on to something, I think DDR is the
least reliable type of RAM. PC100 was usually durable, DDR2+ is usually
durable, but I have 10 sticks of bad DDR at least.

Otherwise, the Service Source would probably say replace CPU, if issue
persists replace system board.

There is also a PowerPC version of memtest available somewhere, the ASD
test is not that good.
