Nope, as DirectX is blamed and you have a gaming mouse etc., I'd recommend you to unplug everything. For now.

Alright, I'll let it run until tomorrow with nothing attached. Then just use the case power button to call for a shutdown?
[EDIT] I use the desktop as a media server for other machines in the house. Should I cut the connection on that too?
I have a Microsoft USB media keyboard. None of the intelitype software is installed though, just the basic USB keyboard driver. That should be alright, right?
Ran with only one monitor and only the keyboard attached for 24 hours. Didn't crash on shutdown... then again, didn't do anything with it other than keyboard shortcut my way to my email...
No crashes. But like I said, I never fired up any games or movies. All I did was check email. I've tried firing up and running just one application or game to see if it is software related, and what software is doing it, but I've come up with nothing. I've tested Steam itself, Counterstrike, DIRT3, BioshockII (all via Steam), Ventrillo, iTunes (as much as it kills my soul to use it), Trillian, and Chrome. None of those programs running by themselves have caused a crash.
