You may want to check out some of my Web sites to figure out why you are 
having such anomalous behavior with OS X:

If you are having kernel panics, in my experience they are most often 
caused by a hardware problem.  Usually out of spec RAM or a bad USB hub 
or device, but also possibly a PCI card that doesn't get along with OS X.

And a little routine maintenance goes a long way towards keeping OS X 
perfectly stable.
