    Alright, flashed the SSD's firmware to the most current revision (which was quite recent, April 11th), and I'm now at 1 hour and 13 minutes of stable uptime, which is a good 10 minutes past the longest I've been able to go.

    Not that that is saying much, but I can't test a longer period till later.

    I would say you found your problem: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ld-boot-3.html.

    The old M4 firmware has a known problem that after so many hours of being used, it would shut down after an hour of use and result in a blue screen crash. The above link provides the information regarding this firmware issue.

    That sounds very likely, the SSD has been in use more-or-less constantly since September 2011. This will teach me to keep up on firmware updates.

    Anyway, I'll let the system run for a while, then mark this solved if all seems well.

    Thank you and zigzag for your assistance.
