When I saw the fix above - tried remaining at 10.3 vs 10.3.3 with no
difference my mind changed gears completely. Question: when you say your
problem started after upgrading to 10.3.3 do you mean you had a version of
10.3 running without issue and the problem started after the update to
10.3.3? Or do you mean you upgraded from something other than 10.3?

If it is the latter then your RAM could be the problem. With each upgrade of
OS 10  (not update, but upgrade to 10.0 to 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3) we've found
that a couple of our machines suddenly became unstable as you describe. In
nearly every case replacing the RAM solved the problem - usually it was a
memory upgrade that needed replacing but on occasion the original memory
module from Apple required replacing.
