So yeah, unless someone better than me can dig some info up you may have to collate a couple of these before it says anything useful :(

Flash and browser need updating?

See if the NSA has been collecting your crash dumps.

Intensive processing = heat, especially if the house is being kept warm atm.  Try cleaning your fans & cooling fins. Costs nothing & at worst eliminates overheating as the cause.

certainly also a possible. Web video seems to bum processing hard so that plus games will do it.

The pool header is bad.

A couple of sources seem to suggest bad ram for that error.

Would a few more of the .dmp and .xml crash info files be useful? The folders had a load in, I just zipped up the most recent of each.

FF is up to date. Pretty sure I updated Flash recently too but I've redownloaded and reinstalled it just in case.

The room is generally very very cold, as you might be able to guess by how often I like to open your windows when I'm there. :P

If it is overheating it would have to be from some malfunctioning component rather than external temperature, but I'll still give it a dust.

I do hope not, my RAM is only six months old. :(

Good test is pull the side off. Could also be psu or gpu are failing, or power dips/spikes.

In general FF builds from about ~6-mos ago seem crashy on both xp, and multiple linux distros for me (though not causing BSDs or anything like that). Seems to correlate to javascripts. I switched to Chrome because of it.

Try running memtest? Although when I had dodgy ram and had lots of BSODs the ram passed the tests.

We saw some awesome OK pics at the royal academy ~20 years ago.
