2. It's happened once or twice before

I haven't updated any new drivers recently. I did install a new powered USB hub last week when I rearranged my office and all my peripherals, but I just let Windows install their drivers - none came with the hub. I'd been having intermittent problems communicating with my laser printer and thought a powered hub (and verifiable USB 2.0 hub) would help.

All I was doing when it crashed was reading DU. I had a couple of tabs open in Firefox, one for DU and one for a story linked from a post.

I'll go check for new drivers - but I am sort of looking for an excuse to upgrade my system. I usually do it every 4-5 years and it's been 4.5 years since I got this system. I think I'll call my local computer builder tomorrow and get him to put together a quote for me.
