(Get the code!)
Before leaving the thread, I wanted to report my resolution in hopes it might help someone who views this in the future.
I am using an Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard, equipped with an Intel N330 Atom dual-core chip. The build included a DDR2 800 2GB chip with 6-6-6-18 timings that "should have worked". When I replaced it with a DDR2 667 with 4-4-4-12 timings, the problem no longer cropped up. After several days without a freeze (an eternity compared to what was happening), I also updated the BIOS to the 2Q2010 278P update.
Although the BIOS still does not let me manually select the 667MHz speed for the memory, in spite of the specification on the motherboard, things seem to be working fine and I hope whatever other problem is hampering the rest of this group of fine folks gets resolved. Happy Summer!
